JQuery Hover Footnotes lets you add footnotes with qualifiers of you’re choosing, then dynamically displays them on hover-over. So you can easily add footnotes to a post by wrapping them in qualifiers, then they will dynamically display in a jQuery hover popup when the user mouses-over the footnote link. There is also a settings page where you can change options like the footnote formatting.
Features
-Numbers, Words, or ANSI characters can be used as footnote reference marks 
-Footnotes can be superscript, subscript, or normal text 
-Footnotes can be placed in page footer or hidden 
-Popup/Hover footnote can be turned on and off.
Usage
To anchor the footnote reference mark/number, use {{FOOTNOTE_NUMBER}}. Then just embrace the actual footnote text with double brackets [[FOOTNOTE_NUMBER]] Footnote text [[FOOTNOTE_NUMBER]]. The footnote text can be placed either inline or at the bottom of the post, the plugin will find them and auto place them in the footer area.
So this is what you would write in the post window…
This is my post and I want to add a footnote{{1}} in the text. By default it will appear as a superscript.
[[1]] My Footnote. [[1]]

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.
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.
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.
