# Footnotes

You can add additional information to your text by using **Footnotes**.

The footnote text may appear appear

* on the same block as the footnote (could be on a new line)
* in a block below on the same level (*sibling*)
* in a block below indented further (*child*)
* in an unrelated block

### How to Use Footnotes

To use footnotes, you add the footnote indicator (`[^1]`) at the end of your text. Further down the page, you add the footnote text for the marker (in this case, marker #1). For example:

* `This is a line of text notice how I add the footnote marker at the end [^1]. Ok great and now?`

Where you want the footnote to appear, add:

* `[^1]: This is the footnote to the text above`

Clicking on superscript 1 in the original text will navigate to the footnote. Clicking on the footnote will navigate back to the source text.
