Yes, well spotted. Thanks for that. This is one of the issues we're aware of, still working on, but it will be fixed for full launch.

Thank you for the feedback, we've got a fix in the pipeline to sort out the footnote display and their linking, it just missed the cutoff for the first launch. Hopefully it'll will make it up to Live in a couple of weeks.

I diddernt broke'd it!

.. And I pressed *lots* of button!!

Can we have the horizontal line - or at least some space or a different font size - between the footnotes and the main body back? At the moment, you don't realise you've reached the end of the entry.

Another problem with footnotes: the footnote numbers do not display in the text. Look at this entry as an example:

There should for example be a 5 beside the word Local, indicating that footnote 5 refers to it.
