How do I create a link to a footnote in HTML?


For example, this Markdown:

This is main body of my content. I have a
footnote link for this line [^1]. Then, I
have some more content. Some of it is
interesting and it has some footnotes as
well [^2].

[^1]: Here is my first footnote.
[^2]: Another footnote.

So, if I click on the "[^1]" link it directs the web page to the first footnote reference and so on. How exactly do I accomplish this in HTML?


Solution

  • Give a container an id, then use # to refer to that Id.

    e.g.

    <p>This is main body of my content. I have a footnote link for this line <a href="#footnote-1">[1]</a>. Then, I have some more content. Some of it is interesting and it has some footnotes as well <a href="#footnote-2">[2]</a>.</p>
    
    <p id="footnote-1">[1] Here is my first footnote.</p>
    <p id="footnote-2">[2] Another footnote.</p>
