User:Taka/Footnotes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here's an elegant procedure for creating footnotes. I have seen some discussions about it, for example here on meta:Footnotes.

1. Create anchors with a div tag with an id: <div id="myfootnote1"></div>. Important is to use only alphanumeric characters, wikipedia internals links have trouble with non-alphanumeric characters. Because a div messes up the wrapping of text, it's best to start the div on a new line (in the editmode) and not use any text within the div.

2. Link to it by using this: [[#myfootnote1|this is visible]]


sample: this links to a footnote at the bottom of this page1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


here's the bottom anchor, from here you can go to the top.
