## Description

Writing a post with footnotes has never been easier and cleaner before. All you 
need to do is anchor a footnote at any point and then write it on the end of the
paragraph or wherever it fits you.

**Usage**

To anchor a footnote use the {{FOOTNOTE_NUMBER}}. Then to write the body of it you
need to embrace it with [[FOOTNOTE_NUMBER]]. Here is an example:

—— document starts here ——-
 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, con sectetuer adipiscing
elit, sed diam tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna ali quarn erat volupat.{{
1}} venian, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper{{2}} suscipit laboris commodo
consequat. Duis autem vel eum irure dolore

[[1]]This is the first footnote.[[1]]
 [[2]]This is the second footnote.[[2]]

This is the next paragraph. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, con sectetuer
 adipiscing
elit, sed diam nonnumy nibh euismod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna ali
quarn erat volupat. Ut wisi enim ad minim. —— document ends here ———

When the document is parsed, the footnotes that are between paragraphs will be removed
from where they are and placed at the end of the document. The {{1}} will be replaced
with an anchor link to the footnote. The footnotes will be a list having and anchor
link back to the place the text has it. Here is what roughly the above text will
look like after parsing:

—— document starts here ——-
 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, con sectetuer adipiscing
elit, sed diam tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna ali quarn erat volupat.[
1] venian, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper[2] suscipit laboris commodo consequat.
Duis autem vel eum irure dolore

This is the next paragraph. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, con sectetuer
 adipiscing
elit, sed diam nonnumy nibh euismod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna ali
quarn erat volupat. Ut wisi enim ad minim.

FOOTNOTES
 1. This is the first footnote. 2. This is the second footnote. —— document
ends here ———

The up arrows and the [1] and [2] are the links. There are a few options that you
can tweak, for now it’s in the code. Please refer to the plugin’s homepage at: http://
