Have a need to create footnotes in your thread? [1] Sometimes taking the time to describe a second part of a paragraph is not necessary for some, but is for others, so doing so might cause some readers to loose interest either because they don’t need the added content or even because they do, so now you can just add footnotes. [2]
If you’re familiar with Wikipedia they use this same style to include the context to back up authority with external links [3]
Shift 6 will create the ^ if you were wondering too , so in this case you can type a bracket [ followed by a ^ and another bracket ] and then add the footnote number, four for this one 4. [4]
Keep in mind, you’ll see these with the while typing your post, and you need to add these with the two dots : at the bottom to make it complete, with your text or relevant link of course [5]
Long informative threads can benefit from footnotes. ↩︎
