Footnotes do not appear correctly #77

Closed josieg closed 5 years ago

josieg commented 5 years ago

Description

Content in footnotes appears in a smaller font but inline with the rest of the text.

Expected behaviour I expect that a superscript number should mark the spot where a footnote belongs and that the footnote content will be placed at the end of the page where it appears (same behaviour as Prince). Screenshot from Print PDF (Prince) PrincePDF

Actual behaviour Content in footnotes appears in a smaller font but inline with the rest of the text. MPDF Screenshot (I've highlighted the text that should be in a footnote.) MPDF

Steps to reproduce the problem

  1. Insert a footnote with content. (For example: https://pressbooksdev.bccampus.ca/foundations/front-matter/foundations-guide-overview/)
  2. Export book as MPDF.
  3. Look at the appearance of the footnote in that file format.

thanks @josieg - the bulk of this looks like a duplicate of https://github.com/BCcampus/pressbooks-mpdf/issues/2 ?

Gahh I knew the issue felt familiar but I searched for footnotes in this repo and couldn't find it. Whoops. Please delete
