Error on footnotes

[manelio]

It seems there is some problem with blank lines on footnotes:

This code from MANUAL.txt:

[^subtitle]: To make `subtitle` work with other LaTeX
    document classes, you can add the following to `header-includes`:

        \providecommand{\subtitle}[1]{%
          \usepackage{titling}
          \posttitle{%
            \par\large#1\end{center}}
        }

Throws an error:

Runaway argument?
\providecommand {\subtitle }[1]{\usepackage {titling} \posttitle {
! Paragraph ended before \FV@BeginScanning was complete.
<to be read again> 
                  \par 
l.1457 }

But if I remove the first white line:

[^subtitle]: To make `subtitle` work with other LaTeX
    document classes, you can add the following to `header-includes`:
        \providecommand{\subtitle}[1]{%
          \usepackage{titling}
          \posttitle{%
            \par\large#1\end{center}}
        }

All goes well.

@manelio I regularly try to compile the markdown from here when I change code in my template and now it works. I don't know what change fixed this issue, but the following code does compile without error:

# Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt[^subtitle] ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.

I hope the issue is fixed for you and can be closed. Sorry that I didn't respond earlier, but I simply had nothing to add to this issue.
