## Опис

This plugin allows one to create footnotes by using markdown notation.
 It is for
footnotes only. No other markdown tag is taken into account

Приклад:

    ```
    I have more [^1] to say up here.

    [^1]: To say down here.
    ```

If used with jetpack and enabled markdown, it only shows the buttons without modifying
the text content.
 Unlike jetpack-markdown, footnotes will appear in the exact point
where they have been inserted. To go back to text mode click on the footnote number.

N.B
 This plugin also works with Gutenberg. But the button only appears in the Classic
Editor. For now with Gutenberg enter the codes directly.

### Configuration

No configuration is necessary.

Considering that this plugin, like others working with “markdown”, parsing the page
every time I load it, I highly recommend using a caching plugin.

Customizing Footnote Layout

If you want the footnote number to be logically separated from the note (for CSS
targeting) but want to prevent unwanted line breaks or extra spacing caused by WordPress’s
automatic paragraphs, you can add the following CSS to your theme:

    ```
    /* Ensure the footnote stays inline or as a specific block */
    p > span.footnote {
        display: inline-block;
    }

    /* Remove extra spacing from the paragraph containing the footnote */
    p:has(> span.footnote) {
        margin-bottom: 0;
        margin-top: 0;
        padding: 0;
    }
    ```

## Встановлення

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

 1. Upload the plugin files to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/blank-footnotes’ directory,
    or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress

## Часті питання

### Does this plugin work with any theme?

Yes, it is designed to work with all standard WordPress themes.

### Does it work with Gutenberg?

Yes, this plugin works with the Gutenberg editor. However, the dedicated button 
only appears in the Classic Editor. For now, when using Gutenberg, you can enter
the shortcodes directly into the blocks.

### How do I install it?

Please refer to the “Installation” tab for step-by-step instructions.

### How can I customize it?

You can use CSS to style the `.footnote` class. Use `span.footnote` for the notes
themselves and `sup.footnote` for the reference numbers.

Blank Footnotes is a brilliant footnote plugin! Admittedly, it doesn’t have a hover(
on-mouse-over) function – neither browser-based nor plugin-based – nor does it offer
automatic numbering.BUT: Doing without such features is rewarded with a plugin that
is straightforward, lightweight, offers little scope for attack and therefore does
not need to be constantly updated, meaning it is likely to remain usable in the 
long term. It is uncomplicated to use and can be easily adapted to your own design
preferences using CSS. It has the advantage that footnotes do not need to be integrated
into the text, but are entered at the end of the text, where they are ultimately
meant to be, which I find much clearer. And (probably most importantly) it has a
plugin developer who, should any issues arise, provides friendly, quick and highly
competent support. I recently had to update 1641 footnotes when switching from my
old footnote plugin to Blank Footnotes, and it worked brilliantly – highly recommended!
Blank Footnotes deserves every success.

This is the highest compliment I can give anything I use. This is much better than
the footnote plugin I was using. VERY pleased. I noticed this plugin doesn’t have
many reviews, so I logged in to give it one.

Ich verwende „Blank Footnotes“ in meinen Beiträgen. Mit dem Plugin ist es sehr einfach
Quellen bzw. Literaturverzeichnis zu erstellen. ich hoffe Corrado Franco entwickelt
es weiter und in Gutenberg-Editor wird einfache Funktion ergänzt für die automatische
Erzeugung von Verzeichnis. Auch Anpassung von Einstellungen werde ich sehr begrüßen.

I was looking for a simple solution that doesn’t add extra scripts to my site. This
is it. Auto-numbering would be a good improvement.

Perfect for a minimal footnote option, which has a custom place. Thank you very 
much!

This plug-in works great and looks fine. A perfectly minimal footnotes option. I
will use it liberally.
