French footnote anchors

The convention for how footnote anchors (the [1] above) are printed in French texts seems to be different from how they are printed in English texts: in French, the anchors are positioned inside the ending punctuation, rather than outside. This may affect formatting when the text requires inline tagging (e.g., italics): if the ending punctuation belongs inside the tags, the anchor will be inside the tags also.
