Thank you for taking the time to report this issue. @Jocs Could you please explain, why we put the footnotes that the end of the document and whether it's possible to keep the old position.
According pandoc document
The footnotes themselves need not be placed at the end of the document. They may appear anywhere except inside other block elements (lists, block quotes, tables, etc.). Each footnote should be separated from surrounding content (including other footnotes) by blank lines.
At the time of development, it placed at the end of document according to the usual habits, or my personal habits, I did not consider it too much, this will be optimized in the future.
@N0rbert out of curiosity, does Mark Text display [^1]
as a number one superscript, i.e. ¹, or is it literally displayed as ^1 in your text? In my Linux installation, Mark Text displays the latter.
@gilbertohasnofb my main gold standard here is retext.
The PDF and HTML exports from MarkText v0.16.2 looks the same.
But footnote is still moved to the end of document on save.
Strangely enough, footnotes do not seem to work on my Linux Mintt 18.3 installation and MarkText 0.16.2. Pasting your minimal example in source code mode:
Going back into regular mode, I see:
So:
[^1]
is not resulting in superscripts[^1]:
footnote line is not being recognised as a footnote line[^1]:
as a footnote@gilbertohasnofb this behaviour may be caused by disabled Markdown Extensions (i.e. Use pandoc-style footnotes) in the Preferences. Below is what I have set:
Then after restart I the following:
That was it, I did not know that this was not enabled by default. Now I can reproduce your issue and the output looks exactly like the last screenshot.
Still not fixed in 0.16.3.
