How to use footnotes in markdown inside html?


I am trying to use footnotes in Markdown, but when I put it inside HTML (<div>) the footnotes won't parse.

Here is the minimal example of the code:

a[^1]

<div> 
b[^2]
</div>

[^1]: I am a footnote
[^2]: I want to be a footnote too.

And it's parsed like this:

I was wondering what is the best way to use footnotes inside <div> blocks. Thanks for your help in advance !

Edit: I am using Jekyll with kramdown.


Solution

  • The solution was to surround the footnote in a <p> block with the markdown argument.

    <div>
    <p markdown="1">
    b[^2]
    </p>
    </div>
    
    [^b]: Now I am a footnote too.
    

    Thanks, Chris, for pointing me in the right direction.
