Hi, spent a long time trying to got footnotes working properly for pdf output. HTML works fine.

At present, the content that should show up in footnotes at the send of a chapter section in a book is displaying within the text like this:

    [1. Footnote content]

The numbers are working properly. The footnotes are just not placed at the end of the section. Very puzzling.

Here is output for asciidoctor-pdf --version:

   Asciidoctor PDF 1.5.0.alpha.16 using Asciidoctor 2.0.12 [https://asciidoctor.org]
   Runtime Environment (ruby 3.0.0p0 (2020-12-25 revision 95aff21468) [x86_64-darwin18]) (lc:UTF-8 fs:UTF-8 in:UTF-8 ex:UTF-8)

I've spent quite some time hunting for answers and have eliminated whatever problems I know how to fix. Please help.

Thanks!
