SUGGESTION: Allow paragraph or line breaks

Thanks scowei! Will check this out and hopefully get into a future version.

scowei, after looking into this, I don’t think this will be possible. Here’s why. WordPress by default wraps all the paragraphs in a page in <p> tags. DIVs and other P tags are not allowed within P tags, so our footnote code uses SPAN tags, which are allowed in P tags. DIV or P tags are not allowed in SPAN tags though. So we’re kindof at a weird place. I’d be open to suggestions but right now I think you’ll have to rely on the fact that
tags should work within the footnote. Hope that helps! -Gavin

Thanks for following up on this. Did you leave out one word?

“… right now I think you’ll have to rely on the fact that __?__ tags should work within the footnote.”

Ha looks like WordPress removed the HTML tag – yes I meant you should be able to use BR tags, to create line breaks, within the footnote.

OK. That was one of the first things I tried, without success. It just cuts the text off at the location of the tag: https://screencast.com/t/TXbwMNRWf5

I am seeing the BR work. Are you using the latest plugin? It seems to we working for me:

Well… I guess I just learned something about hmtl… maybe. When I put in line breaks exactly as you illustrate

it works. But when I drop the initial capitalized “B” and use

… the second line won’t display in the activated footnote.

Odd, but now I have a solution.

(Yes, I have updated the plugin to 1.1.0.)

Great to hear!
