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.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Features<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>-Numbers, Words, or ANSI characters can be used as footnote reference marks\n-Footnotes can be superscript, subscript, or normal text\n-Footnotes can be placed in page footer or hidden\n-Popup\/Hover footnote can be turned on and off.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Usage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n<p>So this is what you would write in the post window...<\/p>\n\n<p>This is my post and I want to add a footnote{{1}} in the text. By default it will appear as a superscript.<\/p>\n\n<p>[[1]] My Footnote.
