Post: markdown: footnots work in wiki pages but not in technotes
In wiki pages, they are correctly rendered as footnotes, but in technotes it seems it links to ^1 as page name:
asd \[^1\]
\[^1\]: www
hint: remove the \, because I do not know how to escape or prevent the rendering as link here - maybe someone else knows (seems the trick from https://www3.fossil-scm.org/home/md_rules#miscellaneous does not work in the forum, when markdown is selected as markup style)
It seems to work for me with the following content in a technote:
``` Lorem ipsum[^1] [^1]: dolor sit amet ```
Tested with Fossil 2026-03-02T21:31:10Z, at least.
ah, right
works for me too now
that's weird, was sure to have it set to markdown, but after checking again today, my technote was set to Fossil wiki
only the escaping issue in forum posts is nagging me a bit now
[^1]
[^1]: asd
[^1]
[^1]: asd
so it seems it is still parsed in the codefence block
Aye, I didn't get that working either, so I set my post to "Fossil Wiki" and used the <verbatim> tag.
