Quick tip for Ghost 6.0
Most everyday formatting (bold, italic, headings, links, simple lists, code, images) works when you type Markdown directly.
For tables, nested lists, and footnotes, always use a dedicated Markdown card (/markdown).

1. This is a short footnote. ↩︎
2. This is a longer footnote that can contain multiple paragraphs.Indent the paragraphs with four spaces (or a tab) to keep them inside the footnote.You can even include inline code or other Markdown. ↩︎
