Footnotes/Endnotes formatting



I need some hand-holding formatting footnotes\endnotes. I want to try
two styles.
________________________________
STYLE A:
1. My current FM command is: 

This gives me:
1Tsunoda, Issai Yume etc, 237, 238 (and when it wraps it creates a hanging indent of three spaces.)

What I want is:

1. Tsunoda, Issai Yume etc, 237, 238 (etc).
I can't figure out how to a) create a space (or two) between the printed footnote number and the beginning of the footnote; and b) how to get a period after each number. (Yes, you can do that manually each time you create the note, but there's got to be a way to do it inside FM or with another formatting commands.)
___________________________________
STYLE B:
A number of commercial publishers are pushing for endnotes that are keyed to page numbers. If the above were on page 179, it would look like this:
179 Homma reads the Sutras in his cell [text in bold]: Tsunoda, Issai
Yume etc, 237, 238.
The trick here would be a command[s] embedded in FM that gets the
current page number and inserts it in the footnote. That would really
be handy, since the page numbers will likely change with each edit of
the manuscript.
Meanwhile, thanks for all the help in the last year and best wishes
for the new one.
