I discovered it this week and I love it! Not sure how new the feature is.
It’s easy. Just put the citation inside square brackets, and then preface all that with a caret. Like this: Beanis cures cancer.^[I made it up.]
It automatically takes care of the numbering and shit.
Example:
Beanis cures cancer,[1] and aliens will arrive next year.[2] More and more people are saying these things![3]
Cool
I might use this next time I do a snarky effort reply to a lib. Does it work anywhere else? Has reddit implemented it? I like to copy paste my effort replies often.
It seems to be implemented slightly differently elsewhere, which would complicate your copy-paste efforts.
