Subscript not superscript

Hi @tamstree

I’m sorry to learn that your website underwent a disturbance again because of Footnotes updates.

Inspecting you page, we can see that you have these rules in bootstrap.min.css:5:

sub, sup {
    position: relative;
    font-size: 75%;
    line-height: 0;
    vertical-align: baseline;
}

When I disable vertical-align: baseline, the footnote referrers rise from subscript to baseline, and when doing the same with position: relative, I see them rise to superscript.

If you would downright delete these rules, would that fix the display of the footnote referrers?

Such mishaps are not uncommon. Footnotes itself carried along three not cross-theme-compatible and not cross-browser-compatible rules that needed to be deleted as soon or late as for 2.0.6 on November?5, given they were causing exactly that same behavior in some browsers and in a number of themes:

.footnote_plugin_tooltip_text {
    vertical-align: top !important;
    position: relative !important;
    top: 0.6em !important;
}

(Despite its name, this class belongs to the footnote referrers, but we can’t correct its name, with respect to its eventual use in custom CSS.)

Best regards
