How to add body-footer containing several logos across all pages on Quarto website?

[michaelplynch]

Description

I am trying to create a Quarto website with a body footer (called footer.qmd) containing several logos as .jpg and .png files.. I am seeing two unexpected behaviours.

1. When I set body-footer as footer.qmd in_quarto.yml (as here: https://github.com/michaelplynch/test-website/blob/main/_quarto.yml) only some (it appears as every second) image in footer.qmd gets shown, as on the bottom of this page: https://michaelplynch.github.io/test-website/ .

2. For .qmd files in a sub folder (called 'People' in my MRE), footer.qmd is not rendered, instead, the title of the file 'footer.qmd' is printed in text (see here: https://michaelplynch.github.io/test-website/People/MichaelLynch.html). I can guess why this one is happening but it doesn't seem unreasonable to assume that the footer defined in _quarto.yml should apply across the website without having to copy the same file into every sub folder.

Are these bugs or am I misunderstanding how the body-footer is supposed to work? The documentation is a little light for this feature and I haven't been able to find any similar examples in the Quarto gallery to guide this.
Happy to take any feedback or insight as I dip into website design :)

Thanks,
Michael

See https://quarto.org/docs/websites/website-navigation.html#page-footer.
For example, the footer on https://quarto.org:
