RawBlock html table: is it possible to use footnotes?

[aborruso]

Description

Hi,
I'm trying to use [HTML tables](But on this it is better to hear what John thinks.), and I have this sample page (the code).

I have added a footnote using data-qmd, but it does not work, and I have the hard coded text in html output.

Am I doing something wrong?
Is it possible to use footnotes with RawBlock html tables?

Thank you

I do think this is a limitation of how we resolve the markdown passed into data-qmd attributes. I don't think the footnotes you put in the QMD document outside the table is seen.

If you use the inline footnote syntax this will work

---
format: html
keep-md: true

# Small table {.unnumbered}

```{=html}
<table>
    <tr>
        <th>Colonna 1</th>
        <th>Colonna 2</th>
        <th>Colonna 3</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Riga 1, Cellula 1 <span data-qmd="lorem ^[lorem ipsum]"></span></td>
        <td>Riga 1, Cellula 2</td>
        <td>Riga 1, Cellula 3</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Riga 2, Cellula 1</td>
        <td>Riga 2, Cellula 2</td>
        <td>Riga 2, Cellula 3</td>
    </tr>
</table>
```

I'll open an issue in case this is something we can resolve (knowing the other markdown context to resolve the data-qmd

Thank you @cderv, extremely useful.

I have two things to add. The first one is long and I will add it later, it is related to my boring use case.

The second is related to cross reference and to the special syntax I can use to hide CR label and show only its number.

In my example I have added <span data-qmd="[-@sec-soggetti-destinatari]"></span>, but in the output I have both the label and the ID.
Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Side note regarding footnotes and tables: You could consider using some Table generation tools like gt that supports adding table footnotes quite precisely - see https://gt.rstudio.com/reference/tab_footnote.html

I will try, but I'm not a R user and it seems to me very difficult 🙃
