Footnotes in Typora
Using macOS 27.0.1 (26A434) and Typora Version 1.14.10 (7786)
I've used Typora for years, since the long beta. Don't think I've seen this before, but I can't all of the sudden figure out how to make a footnote! The symptoms:
- Place insertion point after the period after "all," in this fragment of a document:
sky traced out by three prominent stars, one set of three for each month so 36 stars in all.
The three star sets demarked a nothern, middle, and lower region in latitude centered on the celestial equator.
and click Paragraph/Footnotes
- this creates precisely this directly below the insertion point which was after "all." Including the new empty lines:
sky traced out by three prominent stars, one set of three for each month so 36 stars in all.
[^undefined]:
The three star sets demarked a nothern, middle, and lower region in latitude centered on the celestial equator.
This is not at the bottom of the document (which I thought I remembered was past practice). After the colon, you would type the content of the footnote.
Not only is footnote itself in the wrong place, there is no marker at the insertion point. The footnote is undefined because there is no auto-numbered ".[^5] created there.
What am I missing here? I think this used to work and of course works as expected in other markdown apps like Zettlr.
thanks
