Enable footnotes for README.md files

Open jyn514 opened this issue 2 years ago • 8 comments

There's an actual missing feature still, looking at this diff — footnotes. Do you know if these are actually used in Markdown files parsed by docs.rs? They're not supported by GitHub's own README.md renderer, for what it's worth.

Footnotes are now a part of github-favored markdown[^1], is it now possible to add this feature to the docs? [^1]:https://github.blog/changelog/2021-09-30-footnotes-now-supported-in-markdown-fields/

This mostly involves enabling in Comrak, where they're already supported.
