# Footnote

Footnotes use standard Markdown syntax. Add a reference inline, then define the footnote content elsewhere on the page.

```md
This sentence has a footnote.[^1]

[^1]: This is the footnote content.
```

[^basic]: This is the footnote content.

```md

[^release]: Footnotes can include **bold text**, [links](https://retype.com/), and `inline code`.
