<p>Civil Footnotes is a WordPress plugin for adding footnotes on your blog. Civil Footnotes parses your posts for notes wrapped in ((double parenthesis)), then extracts that parenthesized text into a footnote list at the end of the post.</p>
<p>There are many solutions for managing footnotes within your WordPress website, but Civil Footnotes distinguishes itself from the rest with a simple, readable plain text syntax that works whether you’re using the WordPress block editor, a Markdown editor, or the classic editor plugin.</p>
<p>The majority of Civil Footnotes’ formatting is taken from the blog <a href="https://daringfireball.net/" rel="nofollow ugc">Daring Fireball</a>, which first debuted this style of footnotes <a href="http://daringfireball.net/2005/07/footnotes" rel="nofollow ugc">in 2005</a>. The key difference is the addition of a <code>title</code> attribute to the footnote reference in the text which permits sighted mouse users to efficiently read the note by hovering their cursor over the reference number.</p>

<p>This plugin allows one to create footnotes by using markdown notation.<br />
It is for footnotes only. No other markdown tag is taken into account</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>I have more [^1] to say up here.

[^1]: To say down here.
</code></pre>
<p>If used with jetpack and enabled markdown, it only shows the buttons without modifying the text content.<br />
Unlike jetpack-markdown, footnotes will appear in the exact point where they have been inserted. To go back to text mode click on the footnote number.</p>
<p>N.B<br />
This plugin also works with Gutenberg. But the button only appears in the Classic Editor.<br />
For now with Gutenberg enter the codes directly.</p>
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<p>No configuration is necessary.</p>
<p>Considering that this plugin, like others working with “markdown”, parsing the page every time I load it, I highly recommend using a caching plugin.</p>
