Jump between footnote markers with Vim's * key
" Find related Pandoc footnote numbers

" Vim's * key searches for the next instance of the word under the
" cursor; Vim decides what counts as the boundary of a word with the
" iskeyword option. This function toggles the special characters of a
" Pandoc footnote in the form [^1] to allow you to jump between
" footnotes with the * key.

each name, allowing us to also process our TCamp 2012 attendence list.
Using the script on the Census data available in:
