Footnote Plugin

Support for footnotes in foswiki topics.

Syntax Rules

Write {{ note text }} anywhere in a topic. This will be replaced with a link to the note at the end of the topic. The footnote has a link back to the text where it was inserted.

Write {{f: note text }} to use label format f instead of the default numerical footnote labeling. Available formats are:

• 1 : Arabic numerals
• A , a : Upper- or Lower-case letters
• I , i : Upper- or Lower-case roman numerals
• X , x : Upper- or Lower-case hexadecimal numbers.

Write {{l:: note text }} to use the label l instead of automatic numbering. Valid labels may be any length and contain alphanumeric characters, but must not include spaces.

%FOOTNOTELIST% will be replaced by the notes so far on the page.

%FOOTNOTE{LIST="Web.Topic"}% will be replaced by the notes from an %INCLUDE% ed page.

%STARTFOOTNOTE{LABEL="l" LABELFORMAT="f"}% note text %ENDFOOTNOTE% may also be used instead of {{ note text }}

Do not embed footnotes in headings. That will break the heading in the %TOC%.

Examples

• You type:
  • Tim Berners-Lee{{Tim Berners-Lee is now director of the World Wide Web Consortium, and Professor of Computer Science at Southampton ECS.}} invented the World Wide Web.
• If the plugin is installed you get:
  • Tim Berners-Lee⁽¹⁾ invented the World Wide Web.
• And this at the end of the page:
  • 1: Tim Berners-Lee is now director of the World Wide Web Consortium, and Professor of Computer Science at Southampton ECS.
• Actual example, it renders properly if the Plugin is installed and enabled:
  • Tim Berners-Lee(1) invented the World Wide Web.
