<p>Easy Footnotes lets you add footnotes throughout your WordPress posts by using the shortcode [efn_note]Footnote content.[/efn_note]. Easy Footnotes will automatically add the number of the footnote where the shortcode was entered and add the full footnote text to the bottom of your post in an ordered list with a corresponding number.</p>
<p>Hovering the footnote label will show the user the full text of the footnote using the jQuery Qtip2 plugin. Clicking on the footnote label will take the user down the page to the corresponding footnote at the bottom of the WordPress post. Each footnote at the bottom of the post has a icon that can be clicked to return to that particular footnote within the post copy.</p>
<p>That’s all it takes to start adding footnotes to your WordPress blog!</p>

<p>Endnotes is a simple solution for adding footnotes to your WordPress posts or pages. The plugin originated as a fork of John Watson’s FD <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/fd-footnotes/" rel="ugc">Footnotes</a> but has been updated to use the WordPress Settings API. The original plugin’s usage and functionality has been retained.</p>
<h4>How to Use</h4>
<p>You can add footnotes to your posts or pages by adding numbered inline content within square brackets. Place the inline content where you would like the superscript numeral to appear.</p>
<pre><code>I am Jack's happy sentence that will contain a footnote[1. I am Jack's happy footnote] for calling out a reference.
</code></pre>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h4>Square Bracket Usage</h4>
<p>Do not include square brackets inside the footnotes themselves.</p>
<h4>Unique Footnote Numbers</h4>
<p>Footnote numbers don’t need to be unique but it is highly recommended, especially if the text is identical for multiple footnotes. If you have multiple footnotes with the exact same text and number, you may get undesirable results.</p>
