Simple Footnotes

A Pelican plugin to add footnotes to blog posts.

When writing a post or page, add a footnote like this:

Here's my written text[ref]and here is a footnote[/ref].

This will appear as, roughly:

Here's my written text¹

1. and here is a footnote ↩

Inspired by Andrew Nacin's Simple Footnotes WordPress plugin.

Requirements

Needs html5lib, so you'll want to pip install html5lib before running.

Should work with any content format (ReST, Markdown, whatever), because it looks for the [ref] and [/ref] once the conversion to HTML has happened.
