Pages' footnote marks are odd. They’re too low, and look weird. They need to be raised one point above the baseline. Is there a way to have Pages do this automatically, or am I stuck changing the formatting for every single one?

Pages has always placed its footnotes on the baseline, with the footnote number superscripted. You can manually select the footnote text, and then from the Format Text panel's Advanced Options (⚙︎˅) menu, raise the baseline.
This alteration may not have the desired effect should you export to Word document formats where this would no longer be the expected standard baseline setting to the translation process.

That’s what I’ve been doing, but I was hoping for a way that would do this automatically.
Am I the only one who thinks this is odd behavior?
I believe you are the only one that has commented on it in the last several years to my knowledge.
