Want footnotes at the bottom of the page, not the bottom of the section #2169

Problem

Footnotes render in location they are in the page, not "rendered towards the bottom." as described and expected.

example from https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/format/markdown.html#footnotes

Steps

  1. https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/format/markdown.html#footnotes
  2. Footnotes render in location they are in the page, not "rendered towards the bottom." as described and expected.

Possible Solution(s)

No response

Notes

This is an example of a footnote[^note]. (on github, same behavior would be idea, with dedicated section below a divider and slightly smaller, styled text)

[^note]: This text is the contents of the footnote, which will be rendered towards the bottom.

Version

mdbook v0.4.34

Hi,

I have been patiently waiting to see if this gets fixed. Really want to use MD book in our hospital for policy documents and need footnotes at the bottom of the page. The original plugin is not distributed as a Windows EXE.

Very sorry I don't have the skills to help fix this myself. Any idea if this will be addressed this year?

Kind Regards Gavin Holt
