Underline referrer and backlink symbol

Hi @acka

For the referrer, this rule is required because we already tried hard to remove the underline:

.footnote_referrer > a {
  text-decoration: underline !important;
}

But for the backlink I’m failing to re-add the underline or a bottom border.

After posting this I’ll try adding a custom class for the custom template you are using.

@acka

It now works after adding an anchor element around the backlink symbol in the custom template wp-content/plugins/footnotes-custom/templates/public/reference-container-body.html near the bottom:

<tr class="footnotes_plugin_reference_row">
	<th
		scope="row"
		id="footnote_plugin_reference_[?[post_id]]_[?[container_id]]_note_id"
		class="footnote_plugin_index pointer"
		onclick="footnote_moveToAnchor_[?[post_id]]_[?[container_id]]('footnote_plugin_tooltip_[?[post_id]]_[?[container_id]]_[?[note_id]]');"
		><[?[link-span]]
			role="button"
			tabindex="0"
			class="footnote_plugin_link"
			[?[hard-link]]
			>[?[index]][?[terminator]]</[?[link-span]]
		>[?[anchor-element]]</th
	>
	<td
		class="footnote_plugin_text"
		>[?[text]] <span 
			role="button"
			tabindex="0"
			class="footnote_plugin_link pointer"
			onclick="footnote_moveToAnchor_[?[post_id]]_[?[container_id]]('footnote_plugin_tooltip_[?[post_id]]_[?[container_id]]_[?[note_id]]');"
			><a>[?[arrow]]</a></span
		></td
	>
</tr>

(This template should not be copy-pasted as-is since the double square brackets are protected; the only addition is the anchor element <a> </a>.)
Then the full Custom CSS is:

.footnote_referrer > a {
  text-decoration: underline !important;
}
.footnote_plugin_link > a {
  text-decoration: underline;
}

Many thanks for raising awareness that underline may be preferred.

Therefore, underline should be a built-in option available out of the box on the settings page, like the backlink symbol at the end of the note text should be an out-of-the-box option.

Be sure to keep reaching out with any feedback or further enquiries.

It worked, thank you very much!

And yes, it would be great if underlining the referrer and backlink symbol (together with moving the backlink symbol at the end of the footnote text) are a built in option of the plugin.

@acka,

Thank you for your feedback, no problem!

Hopefully the next release will come with these features.
