Footnotes not rendering like the demo in Sphinx 2.0

[mr-ubik]

Problem

Footnotes do not render like they do in the demo.

Reproducible Project

• I copied and pasted the RST from the demo itself.
• I am not running any custom CSS.
• I have enabled the following extension

   extensions = [
   	"sphinx.ext.autodoc",
   	"sphinx.ext.doctest",
   	"sphinx.ext.intersphinx",
   	"sphinx.ext.todo",
   	"sphinx.ext.coverage",
   	"sphinx.ext.mathjax",
   	"sphinx.ext.ifconfig",
   	"sphinx.ext.viewcode",
   	"sphinx.ext.githubpages",
   	"sphinx.ext.napoleon",
   	"sphinx.ext.autosummary",
   	"sphinx.ext.inheritance_diagram",
   	"sphinx.ext.graphviz",
   ]

• I have the following sphinx_rtd_theme configuration:

   html_theme_options = {
   	"display_version": True,
   	"sticky_navigation": True,
   	"collapse_navigation": False,
   	"navigation_depth": 4,
   }

Note

This issue can be reproduced easily by using Cookiecutter with the "New Python Package" template, preparing a virtualenv with sphinx and sphinx_rtd_theme, changing the default to RTD and making the docs after copying the demo RST to one of the default .rst files that come with the template.

I confirm, this happened to me after switching from Sphinx 1.8.3 to 2.0.0.

Same issue here, currently using Sphinx 2.0.1, footnotes are rendered as description list in html.

I can confirm that this still exists in Sphinx 2.2
