# markdown-it-footnote [](https://travis-ci.org/markdown-it/markdown-it-footnote) [](https://www.npmjs.org/package/markdown-it-footnote) [](https://coveralls.io/r/markdown-it/markdown-it-footnote?branch=master) > Footnotes plugin for [markdown-it](https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it) markdown parser. __v2.+ requires `markdown-it` v5.+, see changelog.__ Markup is based on [pandoc](http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README.html#footnotes) definition. __Normal footnote__: ``` Here is a footnote reference,[^1] and another.[^longnote] [^1]: Here is the footnote. [^longnote]: Here's one with multiple blocks. Subsequent paragraphs are indented to show that they belong to the previous footnote. ``` html: ```html
Here is a footnote reference,[1] and another.[2]
This paragraph won’t be part of the note, because it isn’t indented.
Here is an inline note.[1]
Inlines notes are easier to write, since you don’t have to pick an identifier and move down to type the note. ↩
