From 8aa76ebdabbe6d65d1d520948b3e4ad598f46003 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luke Shumaker Date: Sun, 13 Oct 2013 14:11:12 -0400 Subject: pagerender.rb: add footnote support, arch-systemd.md: use it. I saw that the new version of rdiscount supported php-markdown-extra style footnotes and got excited. However, when I enabled it, I was disappointed to learn that it didn't support multi-line footnotes. Lame! So, I implemented that as a pre/post processor. --- public/arch-systemd.md | 58 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------ 1 file changed, 30 insertions(+), 28 deletions(-) (limited to 'public') diff --git a/public/arch-systemd.md b/public/arch-systemd.md index c3b9b37..f0a484b 100644 --- a/public/arch-systemd.md +++ b/public/arch-systemd.md @@ -17,40 +17,42 @@ which just makes more sense.

The **changes** an Arch user needs to worry about is that everything is being moved out of `/etc/rc.conf`. Arch users will still have the choice between systemd and SysV-init, but rc.conf is becoming the SysV-init configuration file, rather than the general system configuration file.
