Quickly and easily add citations to your pages

The Footnote macro is easy to use and set up. In edit mode, simply type '/footnote' wherever you want it to appear, select it from the menu, and enter your desired reference to add an automatically numbered citation.

View your footnotes in the Footnotes Summary

Use the included Footnote Summary macro to view all of your citations in chronological order. All you need to do is add the macro to the bottom of your page, and the list will be generated automatically. Remember to publish your page to see it in action.
