Hi, I understand that Bigfoot is not being maintained, but I've been using it on a few Squarespace sites for a number of years now and discovered a frustrating and interesting bug/error.
Someone contacted me to ask how I implemented Bigfoot.js on my site and I decided to write up a walkthrough. I previewed it many times, but once I finally published the post, Bigfoot stopped working. I checked that it was still working fine on other pages and posts and spent some time trying to fix the issue by creating a new post, checking, and again discovering it wasn't working.
It turns out that I was adding tags as the final step before making the post public. I narrowed it down to using 'footnote' or 'footnotes' as tags. (It was a post about adding footnotes, after all.)
By removing these tags, Bigfoot again worked as expected.
I'm more curious than anything whether this is a known issue (or perhaps a feature?) and/or why it may be happening (I'm still quite new to JavaScript).
