Whoa!! You very quietly fixed my problem with footnotes!! I just now felt inspired to run my test file through BSSG and the footnote markdown now works. Thank you!! I'll have to start footnoting things now.
@ajlewis2 I admit I didn't do it on purpose, but I made some changes that probably fixed it incidentally. I'm glad it's okay now!
@stefano
Okay, I'm realizing that this may have more to do with changes at my end.
1. Recently I had to reinstall my Linux OS on a new partition. So I have a fresh install. I also had to install cmark and pandoc on the system.
2. I had changed my config.sh.local to indicate using commonmark instead of pandoc back when I was trying to track down this footnote problem. With the upgrade of BSSG I made some changes to that config file and saw the "commonmark" changing it back to "pandoc."
3. I just now tried commonmark again and the markdown footmark notation was not changed properly. Putting it back to pandoc made it right again.
So using pandoc did not work with my old system and the old BSSG code, but either the new system or the new BSSG code has made it so that pandoc, but not commonmark, now parses the footnote markdown properly.
@ajlewis2 good to know. Generally speaking, pandoc should be more complete. I've had other two reports of problems that were solved by switching from commonmark to pandoc
@stefano
I got the old BSSG code off a backup and I did not have the problem on my new system. Also tried it on the old system and that worked fine, too. It fails with commonmark, but not pandoc. I must have spelled pandoc wrong when I used it before or commented it out or some crazy thing. I'll edit my comments about the problem at brew to indicate that using pandoc fixed it.
@ajlewis2 thank you for your feedback, Anita! Your input and feedback are extremely helpful, and I am immensely grateful
@stefano
Okay, so not "my hero." But, better yet, an honest man. 🙂

I don't know if the web server my site is on serves pre-compressed assets, but I'm ready if and when they do. My site is tiny, but I love the idea of having this available. I'd never heard of it.
I love the new "thoughtful" theme. I'll see if I can wreck it by trying to add a dark mode. As it is the colors are pleasant to the eye--exactly what I would like to read with.
Thanks to all contributors!
@ricardo Ahah we're far from that, and I'll probably slow down with new releases. But who knows, I have some interesting ideas 🙂
