Hexo Footnotes

Overview

The Hexo Footnotes plugin is a tool designed for enhancing the blogging experience within the Hexo framework. It allows bloggers to incorporate footnotes seamlessly into their markdown posts, offering a way to provide additional information or citations without cluttering the main content. However, it's important to note that this plugin is no longer actively maintained, which might influence your decision if you are looking for long-term support.

For those who still seek the functionality of footnotes, it is recommended to explore the hexo-renderer-markdown-it, which not only supports footnotes but also comes with an array of other powerful features. Installation is straightforward, especially if Hexo can automatically detect plugins; otherwise, a simple registration in the _config.yml file is required.
