A bunch of my footnotes’ back references display two ↩︎ instead of one (sorry, I can’t escape that damn character).
What’s wrong with this styling btw ? I found several different ways to modify footnotes, this is the one clas my browser’s developer tool mentioned. Though some properties don’t work…
> .footnote-ref {
> font-size: 1rem;
> color: yellow;
> &:hover {
> color: red;
> }
> &:visited {color: orange;} /\* doesn’t work\*/
> }
works fine but I saw the weird footnotes are not affected by it, so they’re not of the class “footnote-ref” ?
In a pair one back reference has the address “[http://localhost:1313/blabla/#fnref1:2](http://localhost:1313/blabla/#fnref1:2)” the other “[http://localhost:1313/blabla/#fnref:2](http://localhost:1313/blabla/#fnref:2)”
Both work

Goldmark allows use the same footnote marker more than once to reference the same footnote text more than once. I suspect you are doing that. Then you get multiple back-references from the footnote to all the markers referencing it.

Except I did not have such multiple references of the same footnote, and I verified, and the day after it wasn’tn rendered that way again. Beside like I said both back references in a pair pointed at the same exact place even as the address differed a bit.
so bug that was. funny one though !

This would be a bug in the Goldmark renderer. Maybe you could reproduce it in a small example repository and file an issue for the Goldmark project?
The possibility to use the same marker more than once is a relatively new feature.
