Links within the notes doesn't follow css styling for anchor

All of my links within the notes do not follow the css styling that I have applied (globally) to any anchor tag on the page. I set all links to appear a certain colour, and the any text inside the anchor tags (only in these notes) seems to ignore that and stay the original text colour. It seems I actually had to colour the text to what I set the body colour for the text to be also, becuse it ignores that. Why would you design something that ignores global styles like that?

Also, the footnotes create white space at the bottom of my page. A lot of white space. I've spent a while trying to fix it, but nothing seems to work. I am pretty mad right now, because something that seemed like a really nice script is actually pretty useless.
