Reference sources or add notes to your content with NSM Footnotes for ExpressionEngine 2

How it works

Adding references

Adding references to your content is very simple. Insert a footnote using the double square brackets syntax eg [[ Footnote content ]] any where in your content. NSM Footnotes will insert a ^superscript inline link to the footnote which is rendered using the {footnotes} tag-pair.

Named references

References can be reused by adding an a hash (#) and a reference identifier when the same reference is used multiple times throughout a document. Example:

The first reference: [[ #ref1 Footnote content ]]
can be reused later like so: [[ #ref1 ]]

Outputting footnotes

NSM Footnotes includes both a single {footnotes} tag (for simple implementation) or a a flexible tag pair for more control. There's plenty of options to check out in the tag reference.
