The new (Moin 1.6)<<FootNote(My first footnote)>> Footnote Macro Filter produces footnotes with back links  <<FootNote(My second footnote)>> that can not be easily hidden with CSS rules.  For printed output, the back links are useless and should be hidden.<<FootNote(My third footnote)>>

While it is easy to hide the back links with the following added to `print.css`, the enclosing "()" characters are not easily hidden:

{{{
div.footnotes a {
	display: none;
}
}}}

Following is a snippet of the html.  The problem is the placement of the enclosing "()" characters.

{{{
          <div class="footnotes">
            <ol>
              <li>
                <p>
                  <a id="fnref-544a80a0d3e1b324ba2c93c2105bc80a5a8e0b05" name="fnref-544a80a0d3e1b324ba2c93c2105bc80a5a8e0b05"></a><span class=
                  "anchor" id="line-1"></span>My first footnote. (<a href="#fndef-544a80a0d3e1b324ba2c93c2105bc80a5a8e0b05-0">1</a> <a href=
                  "#fndef-544a80a0d3e1b324ba2c93c2105bc80a5a8e0b05-3">2</a> <a href="#fndef-544a80a0d3e1b324ba2c93c2105bc80a5a8e0b05-4">3</a>)
                </p>
              </li>
              <li>
                <p>
                  <a id="fnref-29009029967c0f9b69a4398dac0c5119ad9917e1" name="fnref-29009029967c0f9b69a4398dac0c5119ad9917e1"></a><span class=
                  "anchor" id="line-1"></span>My second footnote. (<a href="#fndef-29009029967c0f9b69a4398dac0c5119ad9917e1-1">1</a> <a href=
                  "#fndef-29009029967c0f9b69a4398dac0c5119ad9917e1-2">2</a>)
                </p>
              </li>
            </ol>
          </div>
}}}


One possibility is to omit the enclosing "()" characters and use an icon instead of the number 1 for the first back link. (Maybe an angled arrow that goes down and to the left.)  For users who rarely/never use duplicate footnotes, the presence of multiple "(1)" links after each footnote looks like a bug.  For screen output, the back links are a nifty feature  -- I like it.
