X-FOOT-01
Footnotes are moved to a checklist; the marker leaves the post text. This applies to X, where the result is manual step.
Affects X. Matches footnote. Fixture markdown-portability-test-v1.
What happens, per destination
| Destination | Tested surface | Result | Severity | Confidence | Last tested |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| X | X web post and thread composer | Manual step | Action | Verified | Tested 2026-08-24. |
Why, and what to do
The composer has no footnote control and the syntax stays literal, so the reference and its definition are lifted out of the payload instead of shipping broken markers.
Do this: Work each note into the post text, or reply with it, using the definitions listed below.
Limits of this rule
- It describes the surface and date in the table above, not every version, theme, or plugin.
- Reading it in isolation hides the other rules that touch the same draft.
- A rule is only as current as the test date beside it.
