Enabling Footnote

The Footnote plugin is default enabled but can be disabled/enabled from the admin/plugins page:

Features

Once enabled, you can add footnotes to your posts by typing them in like this:

A sentence that needs a footnote. ^[The footnote] 
Another sentence that needs a footnote. ^[The second footnote]

Or like this:

A sentence that needs a footnote. [^1] 
Another sentence that needs a footnote. [^2]

[^1]: The footnote
[^2]: The second footnote

You can mix and match both styles within a post, as well as use non-numbered anchors.

There are two ways to display the footnotes, controlled by the display footnotes inline admin setting:

Non-inline:

Inline:

A sentence that needs a footnote^[1]
Another sentence that needs a footnote^[2]

The inline versions are both Quote and mobile-friendly.
