How to get all footnotes to show at bottom of post?

Using Ghost
1

Hi everyone, how can footnotes be inserted in different markdown cards all be set to show at the very bottom of the post? Example:

(first markdown card)
First sentence [1]. Second sentence [2].

Then inserted video.

(second markdown card)
Third sentence [3].

  1. This is the first note. ↩︎

  2. This is the second note. ↩︎

  3. This is the second note. ↩︎

The only way I can think to do this would be to use one long MD card for the post.

There’s a solution suggested here (with code) by Corey Mahler. I should add that I’ve not tried this myself.

The lack of proper footnotes in Ghost is a significant weakness for many forms of long form writing. All of the workarounds I’ve tried are a bit kludgy.

Thanks @Cathy_Sarisky … these work well and are what I’m using.

I changed the regex to allow {{N}} instead as I compose in Obsidian (which has a Ghost plugin) and [[N]] is used for internal linking. I also added h2 and h3 elements to the first querySelectorAll as some of my headings (weirdly) have footnotes.

I still need to add image captions and make some tweaks to the CSS

Thank you for pointing out these solutions :pray:
