Footnotes separator logic needs revision for 3.0 · Issue #723 · Python-Markdown/markdown (original) (raw)

Since output_format is now limited to html or xhtml, this if branch in footnotes extension will never be True. Therefore a different output is generated compared to the previous versions if you had html5 or xhtml5, and that is causing test errors (see getpelican/pelican#2414).

It is not clear to me which of the separator options is preferable now, so I'm hesitant to adjust the test outputs in pelican prematurely.
