Footnote symbol style is not working for me

[spapas]

Hello, I've added a footnote using [*]_ and although it works fine, I don't like how the symbol is styled: It is full size and not a superscript :(

Can we fix the css ? I found out that the footnote symbol has a class of footnote-reference something like this:

<a class="footnote-reference" href="#id2" id="id1">[*]</a>

I believe that if we added the following style it would be much better:

.footnote-reference {
   font-size: 0.5em;
   vertical-align: top;
}

Thanks !

shouldn't the rst parser translate it into a proper <sup> tag?

Translating it into a proper <sup> tag is even better for me... The problem is that its not working - it is outputting what I wrote in my previous comment when I use the [*]_. I recommended fixing the .footnote-reference style in order to fix it locally on the theme.

If you believe that it is actually a problem of pelican and not pelican-octopress-theme I could open it to pelican as an issue.

Thanks !
