Persistent Footnote Section

Use case or problem

When you create footnotes, it is rendered by Obsidian and they’re listed at the end of note after a horizontal line. Due to the fact that when you collapse the last header in note the whole footnotes section will get collapsed which is not ideal for reading.

Footnotes:

When collapsed:

Proposed solution

Either allow user to add custom headers for footnotes or treat the footnotes as it’s own section (Ideally level 1/2 header).

Current workaround (optional)

While adding a header solves this problem, it’s not good looking either and it makes the horizontal line meaningless:

I haven’t find any, yet. Correct me if I’m wrong about it.

Hello
If you’re comfortable to switch theme,
download Dune from Obsidian’s community theme repo and you’ll be able to put footnotes in the right gutter.
