About

A footnote 1) is a syntax component that permits to add reference that will be added at the foot of the page.

Footnotes are used most commonly to provide:

  • references (bibliographic citations) to reliable sources,
  • explanatory information or
  • source information for tables and other elements.

Without cluttering the body of the document, footnotes allow you to add:

  • notes,
  • citations
  • and references.

When you create a footnote, a superscript number with a link appears where you added the footnote reference. Readers can click the link to jump to the content of the footnote at the bottom of the page.

Syntax

  • A footnote 2) is delimited with two parenthesis.
(( your footnote content goes here and you can add a [[https://example.com/ref|reference link]] ))
  • You can also use cite for citation
((<cite></cite>))
