Rich Text Editor

What issue do you have?

In source editor, having something like

Apple[^wiki]

[^wiki]: https:xxx

Switch to WYSIWYG editor, press Ctrl+S to save, then switch back to source editor
The original text becomes html tag like this

Apple<sup>[\[1\]](#fn1)</sup>
***
1.  Apple [↩︎](#fnref1)

Even I disable the footnote feature under Options->Markdown, the rich text editor would still change the original text to

Apple[^wiki](https:xxx)

I would hope the rich text editor not changing the any orignal text but simply render them. Even if it's not rendered, just show it as it is.

Could someone help me on this? Thanks a lot.

There have been quite a few changes to the wys editor, if I remember right.
Have you tried 2.13.xx to see if the problem persists ?

Same for 2.13.8
