Sound like that would work, but that solution was obscured by the way the
original question was framed. Knowing what the use case is helps reframe the
question. However, footnote insertion just indicates a point in the text. Maybe
applying a Conditional Text attribute to the range of text
If it were one-to-one you would be correct. However, there are cases where
there is uncertainty as to how many citations are needed, e.g., multiple
paragraphs or a section where it could be appropriate for a single overarching
citation or multiple granular citations, which depend on context,
Oh. Footnotes. Then the missing citations' footnotes just read "[needs
citation]"
Seems trivial, that way. They will auto increment. (Unless reset by the book
file's chapter numbering.)
What am I missing that keeps that from being the obvious solution?

I'm prepping a chapter of a textbook for a peer group meeting (review to be
held using paper copy, not electronic). Author fell down on the job and there
are a host of places throughout where citations are needed (80+).
So I'm adding callouts for the group as to what content needs citations. In
It would be fascinating to hear the use case, as you imply. Probably the
simplest way to do it would be to insert the same marker at each point and then
parse the whole thing after the fact, replacing each marker with an incremented
number.

You can't increment variables with counters. This may be a good candidate
for a script. It's not clear to me the use case for this, but if you contact
me offlist, I will be glad to look at it. Thanks.
