Defining footnote location with Kramdown/Jekyll

Question

I have a Jekyll blog that runs on kramdown 1.10, and I have tried to change the location of my footnote list to no avail. This is intended to go on a github-pages site, but doesn't work locally either.

According to this issue , there is a way to add a footnote location elsewhere in your documents using Kramdown by defining a custom identifier that maps to a DOM object in your post.

Particularly I have added this to my _config.yml

kramdown:
  footnote_location: 'my_footnotes'

and tried all of these variations atthe desired location in my layout:

<ol id="my_footnotes" class="my_footnotes"></ol>

<div id="my_footnotes" class="my_footnotes"></div>

<div id="my_footnotes" class="my_footnotes">
   <ol id="my_footnotes" class="my_footnotes"></ol>
</div>

What is the correct way to generate footnotes in a specific location?

Answer 1

In the issue you reference, they talk about the implementation commit .

The interesting par is the test file for footnote placement .

This is how to place your footnotes somewhere else than at the end of your page.

* footnotes will be placed here. This line is necessary
{:footnotes}
