Support colored footnote marker & calls

[anghenfil]

Hey,

I'm having issues to set the colour of footnote markers/calls.

This doesn't work:

.footnote::footnote-call {
    content: counter(footnote, decimal) " ";
    color: green;
    vertical-align: super;
    font-size: 0.8em;
}
 
.footnote::footnote-marker {
    content: counter(footnote, lower-roman);
    font-size: 14pt;
    color: red;
    display: inline-block;
    width: 2em;
    padding-right: 1em;
    text-align: right;
}

You can find a full example here, with comparisons to other printcss engines.

Best

Hi!

Thanks for the report.

It looks like there are 2 different problems:

• .footnote::footnote-call and .footnote::footnote-marker don’t match the elements, but ::footnote-call and ::footnote-marker do. We have to check the specification to find exactly what’s supposed to work.
• The color is not applied to the footnote marker. Maybe that’s related to the way we handle markers.

We’ll check that in depth and get back as soon as we understand what’s going on here.
