HTML in Footnotes

[Cameron-Cn]

(Edit: A mighty thanks for the effort here!)
Sorry if this is a duplicate or the wrong github!

It would appear that the footnotes issue remains--displaying HTML code in the footnote itself.

Lorem Ipsum dolor.[^1]
----
 [^1]<p>The footnote.&#160;<a href="#fnref1:1" rev="footnote" 
class="footnote-backref">&#8617;</a></p>

I think this is the bug in question:
erusev/parsedown-extra#118
Am I right in understanding this is an upstream issue, and we have to wait for a fix?

Or is there anything a PHP newbie like myself could be helpful with in regards to the footnote issue?

@Cameron-Cn You are correct - it's currently an upstream issue with the ParsedownExtra library. They have released a beta version with this issue fixed, but we can't use that yet. We'd either need to wait for the fix to be made stable, or apply the fix ourselves on a fork.

[Cameron-Cn]

Ah, I'll go see if the discussion over there has any hints about it.
There's a messy patch, but I'm not confident enough to implement a beta myself!

Thank you!

0.8.1 is now stable and includes a fix for erusev/parsedown-extra#118

@bennothommo are we pulling in that version on composer update or do we need to update our dependencies?

[bennothommo]

@LukeTowers yep, I believe the library will bring in the new version through its Composer requirements.

This should be fixed by running a composer update in your site to retrieve the latest version of the Parsedown Extra library. The next build of October will include that as well.
