Reference
Description
The footnote macro attaches a note to a place in the text. Where the macro is written, the page shows a superscript number, and the note itself is listed with the other footnotes at the end of the page.
The number is a link to the note, and each note starts with a ^ link leading back to its number. Footnotes are numbered in the order they appear in the page.
Usage
{{footnote}}The text of the note.{{/footnote}}The macro works inline as well as standalone. It is usually written right after the word or the sentence the note is about, without a space before it.
Three behaviours are worth knowing before you use it:
- the content is parsed as wiki syntax, so a note can carry formatting, links and inline macros;
- each call creates its own note: two places in the text cannot point to the same note;
- the footnotes are listed at the end of the page, unless the page uses the "putFootnotes" macro to list them somewhere else.
Parameters
| Name | Mandatory | Allowed Values | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| content | yes | wiki syntax | none | The text of the note. |
