The Penultimate Footnote

Footnotes that stay out of your text.

Other footnote plugins stuff the whole note inside your post, wrapped in a shortcode. Switch them off and the raw text spills everywhere. Ours keeps each note in its own table and leaves a small marker in the post. Nothing to clean up, ever.
