[Python-markdown-discuss] mdx_footnotes

[David W. <wo...@cs...>]

I've been fiddling around with mdx_footnotes, and I've been having  
some trouble getting it to work.
The input is:
This is a page with [^This is a footnote!]some footnotes.
And I'm running with:
./markdown.py -x footnotes test
But that just produces:
<p>This is a page with <sup id="fnr1-119077789"><a  
href="#fn1-119077789">1</a></sup>some footnotes.
</p>

(it's missing the footnote definitions)

I've peeked at the code, and it seems like this is because nothing is  
calling setFootnote... But I could be wrong.

Is anyone using it successfully?

You need to provide the foonote definitions in your source!

    Footnotes[^1] have a label[^label] and a definition.

    [^1]: This is a footnote
    [^label]: A footnote on "label"

If you skip the definitions in your source, you won't get them in your
output either. :)

I am not using it actively, but I just tested it out of SVN and it worked.
