### 5`` Footnotes🔗ℹ

(require scriblib/footnote) | package: scribble-lib

> procedure (note pre-content ...) → element?
> pre-content : pre-content?

Creates a margin note for HTML and a footnote for Latex/PDF output.

> syntax (define-footnote footnote-id footnote-part-id)

Binds footnote-id to a form like note that registers a footnote. Binds footnote-part-id to a function that generates a section to display the registered footnotes. (The section generated by footnote-part-id will not show a title or appear in a table of contents; it will look like a footnote area.)

Beware that any content passed to footnote-id will occur twice in at least an intermediate form of the document, and perhaps also in the rendered form of the document. Consequently, the content passed to footnote-id should not bind link targets or include other one-time declarations.

Example:

> #lang scribble/manual
> @require[scriblib/footnote]
> @define-footnote[my-note make-my-note]
> @title{Months of the Year}
> @section{January}
> January has 31 days.
> @section{February}
> February has 28 days in common years.@my-note{In leap years,
> February has 29 days.}
> @make-my-note[]
> @section{March}
> March has 30 days.
