<span> Tag Ruins Live Preview

[Jonathan17]

Steps to reproduce

Footnotes and links display incorrectly in Live Preview within the following tag:
<span style=“display: block; text-align: justify;”>[^1] [[#InternalLink]] External Link (I use this tag a lot because I like to make list items justified but also not break footnote functionality. This tag with these styles makes that happen.)

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes

You’ll notice this doesn’t render either:

Search the forum for @WhiteNoise markdown html. It’s come up a bunch, but markdown isn’t supported within HTML tags – especially in Live Preview.

Is that something that can be fixed?

This is not a bug. It is how obsidian intentionally works.
