Re: footnotes not working for pdf

I’m by no means an expert in asciidoctor-pdf but I see some tests for footnotes and that the latest version of Ruby they are run on is 2.7.  It might possibly be worth trying downgrading Ruby to see what happens… and filing an issue if it fixes the problem (if no one else has) :-).

Just a guess…

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!
