Live Preview: Support Footnotes in Callouts

Feature requests
1

Footnotes Broken in Callout Boxes while in Preview Mode.

In other words, there’s no indication of the footnote being anything other than a simple number with no brackets or coloration in Preview Mode.

This may be either intended behavior or perhaps a planned feature that has yet to be implemented yet.

If so, this may be best labeled as a feature request.

Thank you!

Steps to reproduce

Follow the pictures and the standard footnote creation process.

We don’t support this at the moment. Moved to feature request.

I would like to see this implemented :blush: Is there a way to “upvote” a feature request? Are the likes of a feature requesting post in the form considered?

+1. I use footnotes very often but I avoid using them in callouts because I don’t like how they display in Live Preview.

I am having the same issue. Is there a link to this feature request? Do you have any indication of a priority or timeline? Thanks!
