Austin Ziegler e68e7ef96f Configure footnote rendering.
- The config file can provide FootnoteAnchorPrefix, which will be used
  by blackfriday when rendering to HTML. A value of `q:` has the effect
  of making the anchor for a footnote `[^footie]` be `fn:q:footie`. The
  default is `""`.

- The config file can provide FootnoteReturnLinkContents, which will be
  used by blackfriday when rendering to HTML. A value of `^` has the
  effect of making the return link be `^` instead of `[return]`.

The directory structure and templates provide the majority of the
configuration for a site. In fact, a config file isn't even needed for many
websites since the defaults follow commonly used patterns.
Hugo expects to find the config file in the root of the source directory and
will look there first for a `config.toml` file. If none is present, it will
then look for a `config.yaml` file, followed by a `config.json` file.
The config file is a site-wide config. The config file provides directions to
hugo on how to build the site as well as site-wide parameters and menus.
## Examples
The following is an example of a typical yaml config file:
---
baseurl: "http://yoursite.example.com/"
...
The following is an example of a toml config file with some of the default values:
contentdir = "content"
layoutdir = "layouts"
publishdir = "public"
builddrafts = false
baseurl = "http://yoursite.example.com/"
canonifyurls = true
[indexes]
category = "categories"
tag = "tags"
Here is a yaml configuration file which sets a few more options
---
baseurl: "http://yoursite.example.com/"
