Footnote problem in the sample letter

[jameshunterbr]

I tried your sample letter, which worked fine, except that it did not render the footnote in your original.
I am sending a copy of the print of the test.

Also the R Markdown file that generated it.

The links-as-notes variable is enabled in the README screen capture (right after the signature block) but is off by default.

Assuming most letters will be printed, this should probably be enabled by default. What do you think @eddelbuettel?

[eddelbuettel]

I am confused. I just re-ran the vignette yesterday, and it has it. Recall that README.md has two screen captures (skeleton and vignette) and they do correspond to 0.0.1.2 (ie 0.0.2 to be).

Are we looking at a 0.0.1 (as on CRAN) vs 0.0.1.2 (as on GH) difference? Or as you say, a different (missing) default? Or is not enabling a "wanted" feature a user error?

[aaronwolen]

You're right. It's only present in the vignette, which is the expected behavior.

For the next release I'm proposing we add it the list of features in #2 that are set by default.

Closing this -- I am sorry about the 'version on CRAN and actual behaviour' difference, but it was CRAN that sat on the submission.

If you read README.md now (or as of yesterday) you see how to get 0.0.1.2 which is the currently closest to an upcoming 0.0.2 release.
