Footnotes for WordPress WordPress Plugin
Footnotes for WordPress enables easy-to-use fancy footnotes for WordPress posts.
Footnotes for WordPress is a simple plugin designed with a simple aim in mind: to make it dead-easy to include decently-formatted footnotes in posts and pages on your WordPress blog.
The syntax is roughly based on the common MediaWiki syntax for footnotes, but uses the WordPress shortcode conventions. So, to include a footnote with the text "Text," you use:
This is footnoted.[ref]Text[/ref]
And that's all you need to do. When you add a footnote, Footnotes for WordPress will create a note marker at the point that the foonote appears in the text, and includes the text of the footnote in a styled list of notes down the page. When a reader clicks on the link in a JavaScript-enabled browser, a script included with the plugin will create a small bubble inline in the text, which pops up over the footnote marker for easy reading without losing their p
