Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

This plugin provides an extremely easy way to add elegant looking footnotes to

your posts. The syntax is natural, simple to understand, and degrades

gracefully if the plugin is removed. Footnotes are linked unobtrusively and the

note itself links back to the original text where the footnote is referenced.

Adding footnotes to a post is simple. Just type them inline in your post in

square brackets like this:

[1. ]

Each footnote must have a number followed by a period and a space and then the

actual footnote. They don’t have to be unique but it is recommended. It doesn’t

matter what the numbers are since the footnotes will be automatically

renumbered when the post is displayed.

Footnotes can contain anything you’d like including links, images, etc.

Footnotes are automatically linked back to the spot in the text where the note

was made.

Settings

Only show footnotes on single post/page: This option will hide

footnotes on the main blog page. Footnote numbers will still appear

but link to the individual post/page URL.

Collapse footnotes until clicked: When checked, footnotes are

hidden until manually expanded or a footnote number is clicked.

Note: Do not include square brackets [] inside the footnotes themselves.

Note: Footnote numbers don’t need to be unique but it is recommended,

especially if the text is identical for multiple footnotes. If you have

multiple footnotes with the exact same text and number then you’ll get weird

and incorrect footnotes on your post.
