It makes the comments non-breaking, and just removes them from the paragraphs.

There must be a way to indicate that the footnote tag should never be separated from its paragraph. However, it is not perfect (because you will want to extract the footnot if it appear at the end of a paragraph). The TeX module uses the following method: if the tag appears at the end of a bloc, it is extracted, otherwise, we let the tag inlined in the paragraph.
