### [How to use it???](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-use-it-69/)

A lot of functionality but no examples of how to use it. I don’t know if it’s all-
in-one or even if it’s working at all because I couldn’t figure out how to make
it work. Guys put some effort into explaining how to use your plugin.
### [Great Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-33568/)

This plugin is excellent and very stable. I have used it in the past and I”m now
using it on a new project. My thanks to Mark and the other contributors! The only
thing I would like to see added is named footnotes, as in MediaWiki/Wikipedia. This
would save from repeating all the footnote text each time the footnote is used.
Here’s how it works in Mediawiki/Wikipedia, although another notation may be better
for this plugin: The lyrics are great.[You say goodby and I say
hello] ….. There are some great lyrics out there.[

I love this plugin. It does exactly what I need it to do. It looks sleep in my site
and I hope that it gets updated and isn’t abandoned. Brilliant …

Was looking for a footnotes plugin for my blog. After reading a dozen reviews I
decided on “footnotes”. I just installed this on my WP/Oxygen site and was very
pleased with the results. I hope he finds a developer to work with! Will let you
know how it works in the long run. Thanks!
