Footnotes

Plugin: markdown-it-footnote

Use footnotes for additional information without complicating the text. Footnotes have two parts connected with tags:

• The link in the document text, which is displayed as superscript.
• A block of additional information. It's usually placed at the end of the document.

Here's a simple footnote,[^1] and here's a longer one.[^bignote]

[^1]: This is the first footnote.

[^bignote]: Here's one with multiple paragraphs and code.

const checkbox = require('@diplodoc/transform/lib/plugins/checkbox');

- [x] ~~Write the press release~~
- [ ] Update the website
- [ ] Contact the media
