Writing a post with footnotes has never been easier and cleaner before. All you need to do is anchor a footnote at any point and then write it on the end of the paragraph or wherever it fits you.
Usage
To anchor a footnote use the {{FOOTNOTE_NUMBER}}. Then to write the body of it you need to embrace it with [[FOOTNOTE_NUMBER]]. Here is an example:
—— document starts here ——- 
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, con sectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam 
tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna ali quarn erat volupat.{{1}} 
venian, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper{{2}} suscipit laboris 
commodo consequat. Duis autem vel eum irure dolore
[[1]]This is the first footnote.[[1]] 
[[2]]This is the second footnote.[[2]]
This is the next paragraph. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, con sectetuer 
adipiscing elit, sed diam nonnumy nibh euismod tempor incidunt ut 
labore et dolore magna ali quarn erat volupat. Ut wisi enim ad minim. 
—— document ends here ———
When the document is parsed, the footnotes that are between paragraphs will be removed from where they are and placed at the end of the document. The {{1}} will be replaced with an anchor link to the footnote. The footnotes will be a list having and anchor link back to the place the text has it. Here is what roughly the above text will look like after parsing:
—— document starts here ——- 
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, con sectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam 
tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna ali quarn erat volupat.[1] 
venian, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper[2] suscipit laboris 
commodo consequat. Duis autem vel eum irure dolore
This is the next paragraph. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, con sectetuer 
adipiscing elit, sed diam nonnumy nibh euismod tempor incidunt ut 
labore et dolore magna ali quarn erat volupat. Ut wisi enim ad minim.
FOOTNOTES 
1. This is the first footnote. 
2. This is the second footnote. 
—— document ends here ———
The up arrows and the [1] and [2] are the links. There are a few options that you can tweak, for now it’s in the code. Please refer to the plugin’s homepage at: http://www.stratos.me/wp-plugins/yafootnotes

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.
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.
That’s all it takes to start adding footnotes to your WordPress blog!
