With a friendly Canadian hand wave from vacation in Beautiful British Columbia, and speaking on behalf of the Rcpp Core Team, I am excited to shared that the (regularly scheduled bi-annual) update to Rcpp just brought version 1.1.0 to CRAN. Debian builds haven been prepared and uploaded, backdoored Windows and macOS builds should appear at CRAN in the next few days, as will builds in different GNU/Linux distribution–and of course r2u should catch up tomorrow as well.

Nathaniel Snelgrove ☛ Nathan Snelgrove | Give footnotes a spec
02 On the printed page, footnotes can exist in the footer of any page. This makes them unobtrusive to read, since the size of a page is restricted by the physical limitations of books. Your eyes don’t have to travel far. On the web, no such luck: a webpage can be a mile long, so placing footers at the end of the document can turn footnotes into a very un-fun game.
The bigger problem in my mind is #2, and I’ve been contemplating solutions to this for some time.
On the web, I’ve often thought the best solution is using something similar to <aside> or <section role="notes"> in the way Jake describes. Ideally, each “footnote” would directly follow the paragraph it pertains to.
