            {syntax type="markdown"  editor="wysiwyg"} # Footnote and Footnote Area Plugins


{DIV(class="lead")}These ((wiki plugins)), work together to create automatically numbered footnotes. The superscript footnote numbers (like this{SUP()}[[1]{SUP}) and text are set with the Footnote plugin, and then are displayed using the Footnote Area (Footnotearea) plugin.{DIV}


## Parameters

{pluginmanager plugin="footnote"}

## Usage

The parameters are optional for these plugins (nothing is required between the parentheses) but here are the steps that need to be followed for them to work:

1. ***Place the Footnote plugin just after the text to be footnoted.***
    - This will create a superscript footnote number next to the text.
    - The footnote number automatically links to the footnote text (of course this link only works if the Footnotearea plugin is also used).
    - The footnote numbers are automatically incremented based on how many Footnote plugins are used.
2. ***Enter the text of the footnote within the Footnote plugin opening and closing tag.***
3. ***Place the Footnote Area plugin at the end of the page in order to display the footnotes.***
    - All footnotes will be displayed in order at the bottom of the page. There may be a visual separator, depending on the theme in use.
    - The footnote numbers here link back to where the text was footnoted.
    - Note that the links will not function if there is a page break between the relevant Footnote and Footnotearea plugins. Also, the Footnotearea plugin must be placed at the end of the page because no content will display after the plugin.

## Examples

### Basic syntax

#### sameas (after Tiki15, use sameastag instead)

First, input the Footnote plugin syntax following the text you want footnoted: 
{CODE(colors="tiki")}
Text to be footnoted{FOOTNOTE()}Footnote text to be displayed elsewhere{FOOTNOTE}
{CODE} 
{CODE(colors="tiki")}
Text to be footnoted{footnote(sameas="1")}{FOOTNOTE}
{CODE} 
Second, add the Footnotearea plugin syntax to display the footnotes at the end of the page: 
{CODE(colors="tiki")}
{footnotearea}
{CODE} 
**Note:** the *sameas* parameter has the big issue that adding a new footnote above the other footnotes requires that you renumber all *sameas* footnotes below the new footnote.

#### sameastag (after Tiki15)

Starting at Tiki15, the *sameastag* parameter allows tagging footnotes for later reuse. 
{CODE(colors="tiki")}
Text to be footnoted{footnote(tag="t1")}Footnote text to be displayed elsewhere{FOOTNOTE}
{CODE} 
{CODE(colors="tiki")}
Text to be footnoted{footnote(sameastag="t1")}{FOOTNOTE}
{CODE} 
Second, add the Footnotearea plugin syntax to display the footnotes at the end of the page: 
{CODE(colors="tiki")}
{footnotearea}
{CODE}
