Has their been any thought about making footnote popups scrollable? See 👉\[1\] There are four paragraphs. Of course long footnotes are probably not a good idea just because. And one solution would be to have end notes instead of the popups. But since it’s a site wide setting, this isn’t an option on individual posts. Also there is a bug with quoted paragraphs. Usually you can put a blank line with just a `>` to get a quoted blank line. I can make a new issue for that if need be.
