## Description

Advanced Footnotes lets you add footnotes on articles via shortcodes. Advanced Footnotes
is is extremely customizable, therefore it can be implemented on any theme.

With its internal functions, you can also implement Advanced Footnotes on your own
theme in any form you like.

 * Implemented WYSIWYG editor button.
 * Footnotes can be implemented with shortcode or function.
 * Animated scroll effect (can be disabled)
 * Lightweight CSS (can be disabled)
 * Custom CSS styling
 * Dynamically changeable interface options (JS can be fully disabled)

Usage

### Inserting a Footnote:

In order to insert a footnote, you can either use the “Insert Footnote” button added
on your WYSIWYG editor, or use the [footnote]your-footnote-here[/footnote] shortcode.

### Shortcode Parameters:

_“type”:_ Determines the type of the reference. **Options:** _numeric_ / _non-numeric_.

### Listing Footnotes:

You can display the footnotes in two methods:

### Listing by Shortcode:

By simply inserting the _[footnotes]_ shortcode in your post content, you can display
footnotes wherever you want in your posts.

#### Shortcode Parameters:

_“title”:_ Determines the title for the footnotes list. Default value can be set
through plugin settings.

#### Shortcode Usage:

    ```
    [footnotes title="My Custom Footnotes Title"]
    // or
    [footnotes title="false"]
    ```

### Listing by Theme Inclusion:

You can print the footnotes by calling _print\_refs_ function from the advanced_footnotes
class.

#### Simple Function Usage:

    ```
    call_user_func(array('advanced_footnotes', 'print_refs'));
    ```

#### Additional Parameters:

 * First parameter: “Print”, whether print or return the footnotes content. (Default:“
   true”)
 * Second parameter: “Title”, determines the title for the footnotes content. (Default:“
   false”)

#### Function Usage with Parameters:

    ```
    $footnotes = call_user_func_array(array('advanced_footnotes', 'print_refs'), array(false, 'Custom Footnotes Title'));<h3>Plugin Options:</h3>
    ```

You can access the plugin options through “Options/Advanced Footnotes”.

 * **Include Plugin CSS:** Determines whether to include the default plugin css 
   files. Disable this if you want to re-style the plugin within your theme.
 * **Custom CSS:** Provides a field for custom CSS styling.
 * **Include Plugin JS:** Determines whether to include the plugin javascript files
   on the theme output. Disable this if you want to customize plugin interactions
   or just to use native HTML anchors.

   shortcode.
 * **Footnote Symbol:** Sets the symbol used for non-numeric footnotes.
 * **Disable JS Options:** Determines whether to apply options to the plugin JS

   of the window area.

   Set 0 for no animation.

### HTML Structure & Classes

### Anchors:

#### Numeric Anchor:

    ```
    <a id="{unique id}" class="afn-footnotes-ref hook numeric" name="{unique id}" href="#{unique id of the reference}">{number - automatically incremented by the order}</a>
    ```

#### Non-numeric Anchor:

    ```
    <a id="{unique id}" class="afn-footnotes-ref hook non-numeric" name="{unique id}" href="#{unique id of the reference}">footnote symbol</a>
    ```

Non-numbered references are listed before the numbered references on the list.

    ```

    <div class="afn-footnotes">

        <!-- Title -->
        <h3 class="afn-footnotes-title">{Title}</h3>

        <!-- List of references -->
        <ul class="afn-footnotes-list">

            <!-- Reference item - non-numeric -->
            <li class="footnote-item afn-textarea">
                <a id="{unique id}" class="afn-footnotes-ref reference non-numeric" name="{unique id}" href="#{unique id of the anchor}">{footnote symbol}</a>
            </li>

            <!-- Reference item - numeric -->

                <a id="{unique id}" class="afn-footnotes-ref reference numeric" name="{unique id}" href="#{unique id of the anchor}">{number - automatically incremented by the order}</a>

Thanks so far for developing this tool! Though I want to mention an issue with the“
Open Graph Protocol Framework” plugin, which made my footnotes appear twice for 
some time.
