FootNotePlugin

Footnotes are notes placed at the end of a topic.

Syntax Rules

Write {{ note text }} anywhere in a TWiki 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.

%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{}% 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-Lee1 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.
