Problem:

Say, source docx file contains a text with a footnote. XWPFWordExtractor extracts the footnote just fine, but location of the footnote reference is lost.

Example:

extractor.getText() on "test-data/document/footnotes.docx" returns:
"Eto ochen prostoy text so snoskoy
[1:  snoska]"
The position just after the word "prostoy" contains footnote reference, but the returned text does not contain such reference.

Suggested improvement:

Let's insert a footnote reference into output text, for example, like this:
"Eto ochen prostoy[fnote:1] text so snoskoy
[1: snoska]"
The footnotes marked such way could be used for accurate rendering in HTML (or any other relevant format).

Solution: attached patch contains change for "XWPFRun.java" and relevant test in "TestXWPFWordExtractor.java".

This was already applied via r1492308 on 2013-06-12 via github pull #3 and thus this is already included in POI 3.10 and newer releases. The only change is that the footnote reference is printed as "[footnoteRef:1]".
