I cataloged all the proposals that fail to render. The others are ok.

https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0111-linear-types.rst
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0281-visible-forall.rst
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0378-dependent-type-design.rst
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0380-ghc2021.rst
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0448-type-variable-scoping.rst
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0583-hasfield-redesign.rst
