Footnote Element
Use the footnote element to refer to additional information from the main body of the document.
Guidelines
- Depending on the output, footnotes can render differently. Once you publish your content, always check if the footnotes are rendered as expected.
- Use numerical footnote annotations with textual content. They update automatically as you add new footnotes based on their position in the topic.
- Use symbolic footnote annotations with numerical content. You need to manually update symbolic annotations as you add new footnotes.
Remember: Unlike symbolic annotations, numerical annotations can be understood as a
numerical_data to the power of
your_numerical_annotation.
- Correctly annotated numerical content:
0.181193* - Incorrectly annotated numerical content:
0.1811932
