Footnotes plugin for markdown-it markdown parser.
v2.+ requires markdown-it v5.+, see changelog.
Markup is based on pandoc definition.
Normal footnote:
Here is a footnote reference,[^1] and another.[^longnote]
[^1]: Here is the footnote.
[^longnote]: Here's one with multiple blocks.
Subsequent paragraphs are indented to show that they
belong to the previous footnote.
html:
<p>Here is a footnote reference,<sup class="footnote-ref"><a href="#fn1" id="fnref1">[1]</a></sup> and another.<sup class="footnote-ref"><a href="#fn2" id="fnref2">[2]</a></sup></p>
<p>This paragraph won’t be part of the note, because it
isn’t indented.</p>

<section class="footnotes">
<ol class="footnotes-list">
<li id="fn1" class="footnote-item"><p>Here is the footnote. <a href="#fnref1" class="footnote-backref">↩</a></p>
</li>
<li id="fn2" class="footnote-item"><p>Here’s one with multiple blocks.</p>
<p>Subsequent paragraphs are indented to show that they
belong to the previous footnote. <a href="#fnref2" class="footnote-backref">↩</a></p>
</li>
</ol>
</section>Inline footnote:
Here is an inline note.^[Inlines notes are easier to write, since
you don't have to pick an identifier and move down to type the
note.]
