Footnotes

This is a simple footnote[^1]

This is one footnote[^2]

This is another footnote[^note]
 
[^1]: This is the referenced text.

[^2]: Add 2 spaces at the start of each new line.
  This lets you write footnotes that span multiple lines.

[^note]: Named footnotes still appear as numbers, but can make it easier to identify and link references.

You can also use inline footnotes. ^[This is an inline footnote.]

This is a simple footnote¹

This is one footnote²

This is another footnote³

You can also use inline footnotes. ^[This is an inline footnote.]
