Footnote links aren’t made into hyperlinks

Open linkmauve opened this issue 10 months ago • 4 comments

At https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/03/30/i128-layout-update.html the links in the footnotes aren’t converted to hyperlinks, making them more cumbersome to follow.

The links seem to work for me. For example, clicking the 3 here goes to the bottom of the page. image

Can you say which browser and OS you are using? Are the links not underlined? Does clicking them not change the URL fragment to something like #fn-l?

I’m using Firefox nightly on ArchLinux all up to date, and the links aren’t underlined in the footnote itself, not in the link to the footnote, see this screenshot:

They probably need to be surrounded in < > to make them a URL. Footnotes are just text and we don't auto-link in text I guess.

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. Posted #1303.
