-If true (the default), pandoc will put footnote citations after

+If true (the default for note styles), pandoc will put footnote
+references or superscripted numerical citations after following
+punctuation.
 For example, if the source contains \f[C]blah blah [\[at]jones99].\f[R],
 the result will look like \f[C]blah blah.[\[ha]1]\f[R], with the note
 moved after the period and the space collapsed.
 If false, the space will still be collapsed, but the footnote will not
 be moved after the punctuation.
+The option may also be used in numerical styles that use superscripts
+for citation numbers (but for these styles the default is not to move
+the citation).
