Extreme Vim Macros for Traditionalist Catholics

This is how you do pretty advanced actions in vim automatically. In this case, I want vim to automatically insert footnotes taken from the end of a text file in the appropriate place for them to be formatted automatically in a LaTeX document. This would be a huge chore for a Wordcuck or someone using a text editor or IDE without sufficient macro capabilities, but vim makes it pretty easy. Keys are displayed with screenkey.
