Multiline footnotes support is broken

[njor]

Problem

Footnotes with multiple paragraphs are rendered incorrectly, where all the line breaks that should be between paragraphs are ignored, and all the content of the footnote is just concatenated together.

Steps

The following markdown should generate a multiline footnote :

    A paragraph with a footnote[^fn1] inside.
    
    [^fn1]: First paragraph of the footnote.
    
        Second paragraph of the footnote.

Expected result : something like that :

Actual result :

Notes

It looks like the problem is not in the generated HTML, which correctly contains the <p> elements, but in general.css, in the following rule :

.footnote-definition p {
    display: inline;
}

Possible Solution(s)

Replacing this CSS rule with something like this solves the problem:

.footnote-definition {
    margin-left: 1em;
    position: relative;
}

.footnote-definition-label {
    position: absolute;
    margin-right: 0.5em;
    right: 100%;
}

Workaround : add the following custom CSS somewhere in any custom CSS file :

/*  Overwrite faulty CSS that breaks multiline footnotes    */
.footnote-definition p {
    display: block;
}

.footnote-definition {
    margin-left: 1em;
    position: relative;
}

.footnote-definition-label {
    position: absolute;
    margin-right: 0.5em;
    right: 100%;
}
