Insert­ing notes and citations

Square brack­ets fol­lowed by some­thing that Word­Press rec­og­nizes as an instruc­tion is a com­mon way to add a fea­ture to a page. On this site, a plu­gin called “FD Foot­notes” has been enabled. To make a foot­note, type a num­ber and the foot­note text, all sur­rounded by square brack­ets, as in this exam­ple: ¹ I’ll try to keep the num­bers sequen­tial for my foot­notes, but if I skip a num­ber or move a foot­note, it doesn’t mat­ter. The plu­gin will renum­ber them in the order they appear. You need to look at your post in edit mode to see these exam­ples inline. ² The FD Foot­notes plu­gin needs to be acti­vated for this to work. If it is not, ask a site admin­is­tra­tor to acti­vate it in the Plu­g­ins sec­tion of the Dash­board for your site.
