Add inline footnotes to your posts. On desktop, the footnotes will appear as tooltips. On mobile, the footnote will expand beneath the text.

Footnotes optimized for desktop and mobile, inspired by the styles of Grantland and FiveThirtyEight.
Use a footnote in your post by using the footnote icon in the WordPress editor or by using the shortcode: [mfn]this will be a footnote[/mfn] The plugin will automatically associate sequential numbers with each plugin.
On desktop, footnotes will appear as a tooltip when the user clicks on the number. On mobile, footnotes will expand as a section below the current text.
You can also use the [mfn_list] shortcode to display a list of footnotes used in the article.

<h3>Shortcode options</h3>
You can modify some behaviours or styles of your footnotes by using the following options within our shortcode. 
[mfn referencenumber=3]This footnote will have the number 3[/mfn] 
[mfn class=’my-pretty-class’]This footnote will have ‘my-pretty-class’ as additional class, allowing for custom styling of individual footnotes.[/mfn] 
[mfn referencereset=’true’]This footnote will reset the footnote counter and therfore receive 1 as its number. Following footnotes will also receive their number according to this new start.[/mfn]
