 * Hello,
 * I wanted to know if it was possible for the next updates to put a .min.css for
   the .css used by wordpress and keep a .css for more visibility in case …
 * The best would be a deactivation of the css that is not used, for example if 
   we don’t use tooltips, it would be great not to have the codes related to this
   option loaded in the source code anyway (css + js).
 * A small improvement that does a lot of good for the speed, the planet, etc 🙂
 * Thanks you !
 * PS : Oh I just saw my label 🙂 Thank you very much it’s a pleasure 😀

 * Hi [@docteurfitness](https://wordpress.org/support/users/docteurfitness/),
 * A great many thanks for pointing this out and for posting this issue report! 
   Indeed I even deceived myself by noting (in class/init.php:156 (2.5.4)) about
   scripts that “These are only enqueued if the jQuery tooltips are enabled”, while
   the next “if” statement (around the script loading tags) is only making sure 
   that there is no use of alternative tooltips, those working without JavaScript
   libraries (and not adapting to the window).
 * Also I did only half of the job by completing the minification of the jQuery 
   Tools file only (where deprecated functions needed to be replaced or redacted),
   not noticing that the same approach must benefit the style sheets too, where 
   the exact same issue of wasteful layout and comment blocks designed for human
   readers needs to be addressed.
 * Thanks to implementing your recommendations, there shall be about 12 minified
   style sheets tailored to the needs of every combination of tooltip usage and 
   of help (or not) with basic responsive page layout for some themes.
 * And indeed the tooltip-related internal CSS needs to be skipped when tooltips
   are not used, like the JS (inline for jQuery tooltips, internal for plain JavaScript
   tooltips) currently is inserted only if needed.
 * As a user initially offering just to fix a small heap of bugs identified after
   I started really using WordPress less than 1 year ago, I’m inexperienced and 
   welcome every suggestion helping fix the plugin. You offered us a great deal 
   of them, and I’m currently scrambling to properly and comprehensively acknowledge
   all users and developers who kindly contributed code, feature requests, bug reports
   and provided us with usage examples alongside. We are grateful for your contributions
   to the plugin, and you were among the first three new contributors added when
   the Contributors field in readme.txt was edited again after 2.0.0, for v2.5.1.
   Only so late because by then, maintaining the metadata was my responsibility.
   If it was plugin author [@markcheret](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markcheret/)
   for sure he would have added you on the spot when you enabled AJAX autoload for
   v2.0.6!
 * (Also [I would prefer the contributor label](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5553#ticket),
   only the fear of misinterpreted disruption on Footnotes’ forum retains me from
   using another account for the uploads to SVN before removing my author label.)
 * Thanks a lot again for your recommendations that go to be fast-tracked for instant
   implementation and shall be available in our very next release! We must target
   energy efficiency along with food sustainability everywhere it’s possible.

 * Sorry please, didn’t see your feedback as I was busy correcting and posting again.
   You are welcome!
 * While implementing your recommendations I remembered also Plugin author Patrizia Lutz(
   Pea) [@misfist](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misfist/) optimized internal
   processes by streamlining template load, correcting wasteful code that caused
   utter process garbage:

 * Also, Plugin Contibutor [@martinneumannat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/martinneumannat/)
   paved the way to making Footnotes AMP compatible, while Plugin User [@psykonevro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/psykonevro/)’
   s bug report reminded us of the urgency:
 * * – Adding: Referrers and backlinks: optional hard links for AMP compatibility,

   report, thanks to [@martinneumannat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/martinneumannat/)

   The official AMP plugin strips off JavaScript, breaking Footnotes’ * animated
   scrolling.
 * The [template stack](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/template-override-filter/)
   from Plugin Author [@misfist](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misfist/) enables
   you to meet special requirements, and if we can help you address any issue, be
   sure to keep in touch.
 * Stay safe!

 * Hello,
 * An implementation of the design you contributed is up and running and would be
   released as v2.5.5 on the spot if there weren’t concerns about consistency; I’m
   afraid that so close a release—4 days after v2.5.4—could contradict the energy
   efficiency argument that v2.5.5 is placed under.
 * We’d also like to make sure it actually is what you had in mind. The stylesheet
   is split up in 3 parts depending on tooltips enabled and alternative tooltips
   enabled status, and the 3 optional basic responsive page layout stylesheets enter
   also in the concatenation of 12 unified tailored stylesheets, deleted after minification
   to streamline the codebase given their formatted constituents are shipped alongside.
   The documentation is in `dev-common.css`, and the bash script `csscat.sh` is 
   in `development/` together with a note on the stack for customized template parts
   from [@misfist](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misfist/), and another one
   about the customized documentation schema used.
 * You are welcome to look into now-current development v2.5.5d0 at [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/footnotes.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/footnotes.zip)
 * Please feel free (but not urged) to report anything not meeting your expectations.
 * Thank you again very much for this improvement!

 * Hello [@pewgeuges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pewgeuges/)
 * I’ve just looked at it, minified files and only loaded if used, it’s perfect!
 * Thanks you !

 * Hello [@docteurfitness](https://wordpress.org/support/users/docteurfitness/),
 * We’re glad it’s okay, thanks a lot for your feedback!
 * It will be in the very next update, to be rolled out soon.
 * Many thanks again for helping get Footnotes state-of-the-art!
