Footnotes plugin?

Quick question: are there any Serendipity plugins that can be used to add footnotes to a blog post similar to an academic paper? I know there's a plugin like this for Wordpress, but I like Serendipity because it's a ton better than Wordpress IMHO.

Hi!
Sadly I know of no dedicated plugin for this. You could place those manually, but of course that would be nicer to not do this.
However I think in the webcontext, footnotes can often be circumvented by just placing links to the reference?
Best regards,
Garvin

Hi Strider78,
I might take a look at this recreating the functionality of this. It is something I have done manually a couple of time before and I don't think it would be too difficult to create a plugin to do.
Can you post some specific needs you have/want (like an example of the syntax in the post you would like to use, etc) I will take a look at doing this sometime in the next few days.

have a look at the textile-plugin:
Code: Select all
This is covered elsewhere[1]. flaisdjfdls
sdfsd
fn1. Down here, in fact.
should make
Code: Select all
<p>This is covered elsewhere<sup><a href="#fn1">1</a></sup>. flaisdjfdls</p>
<p>sdfsd</p>
<p id="fn1"><sup>1</sup> Down here, in fact.</p>

ciao tutti,
yes it should. but on my blog it doesn't. the square brackets are parsed correctly most times, but the fnX. term doesn't work at all.
so i go using native html-tags.

Hi!
Which other markup plugins are you using? Those like BBCode can interfer.
