### Footnotes ### Footnotes
Footnotes add a link to a note rendered at the end of a Markdown file: Footnotes add a link to a note that will be rendered at the end of a Markdown file.
To make a footnote, you need both a reference tag and a separate line (anywhere in the file) with the note content.
Regardless of the tag names, the relative order of the reference tags determines the rendered numbering.
```markdown ```markdown
You can add footnotes to your text as follows.[^1] A footnote reference tag looks like this:[^1]
[^1]: This is a footnote (later in file). [^1]: This is the contents of a footnote.
You can use letters and other characters in the footnote.[^footnote-note] Reference tags can use letters and other characters.[^footnote-note]
[^footnote-note]: Footnote numbers are auto-generated by order, so it does not matter what the tag name is. [^footnote-note]: Unfortunately, an upstream bug causes rendering failure for tags that include lowercase 'w' (see issue #24423).
