Footnote

A footnote is a brief explanatory note or reference that appears at the bottom of the page, used to provide:

  • Additional information
  • Clarification
  • Citations or references

Footnotes allow the author to include important but non-essential content without interrupting the main flow of the text.

  • Cite a source (academic, clinical, legal)
  • Add extra context or explanation
  • Include legal disclaimers or conflicts of interest
  • Clarify uncommon terminology or exceptions
The technique was first described in the early 2000s.1)

This will render as a small numbered link in the body, and the full note will appear at the bottom of the page.

Use `2)` syntax for footnotes:

  • Inline example:

`The patient showed complete recovery.3)`

  • Multiple footnotes are numbered automatically:

`First fact.4) Second fact.5)`

  • Footnotes are automatically rendered at the bottom of the page.
  • They are ideal for references, clarifications, and non-critical remarks.
  • For inline citations with formal references, consider a dedicated bibliography section as well.
