I wrote my posts in Markdown. You can pull my blog from https://github.com/arzumy/arzumy.github.com and have a look.

I used footnote in these two posts:

• How To Quickly Search Your Terminal History (view source)
• My First Phreaking Lesson (view source)

This is a footnote¹. Go ahead click it.

Here’s how we did that:

This is a footnote[^fn-sample] 
[^fn-sample]: Now I gotta cut loose. Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes. Click this to go back up >>

All you need is to have [^anchor_name_here] for the link and [^anchor_name_here]: for the footnote. The key is to start with [^]. Ideally since it’s a footnote, you should place [^anchor_name_here]: on the bottom. But hey, entirely up to you! With this syntax, you’ll get <sup></sup> tag for free with link to the anchor and running numbers for all footnotes on the same page.

I intentionally left a blank space here so you can test the link and actually move from the number to footnote back and forth.
