Markdown footnotes don't render when inside a table...
Footnotes embedded inside a Markdown table do not get rendered with CommonMark. It works with RedCarpet.
For example1:
A footnote in a paragraph[^1]
| Column1 | Column2 |
| --------- | ------- |
| foot [^1] | note |
[^1]: a footnote
A footnote in a paragraph1
Column1 | Column2 |
---|---|
foot 1 | note |
Note that the footnote superscript is not shown in the table.
This has a direct effect on three of our documentation files:
