Create Footnotes with EazyDocs

In this episode, we will try to know how to add footnotes and their detailed usage.

What Are Footnotes?

Footnotes are a way of providing additional information or citations at the bottom of a page in a document.

For example, if you have written a sentence and want to include an interesting but unrelated comment, you can use a footnote. The footnote symbol indicates that the additional information can be found at the bottom of the page.

How to Add Footnotes

Exciting news for Eazydocs users! We’ve just made adding footnotes even easier in EazyDocs v2.0. You can now insert footnotes directly from the Gutenberg editor toolbar. This means no more switching between the editor and the code view to add those important citations or no need to insert the shortcode manually. Just click on the EazyDocs icon from the Gutenberg editor toolbar, then select the Footnotes option to create, and the rest will be managed automatically. Make sure you have put the footnote content between the [reference] shortcode.

The shortcode consists of both the reference and the number to display for the footnote content. Whatever you enter as the number will be shown in the content area, and if you hover over it, the hidden content will be revealed.

Now, let’s take a look at how the footnote contents will appear at the end of all the content. See the following screenshot:

The contents can be displayed in different columns. To do this, go to EazyDocs settings, then to Footnotes, where you can set the Footnotes heading and columns.
