One word: footnotes

[-] SquirrelX@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Are they still called footnotes if they take half the page? (I prefer parentheses though)

[-] Lamedonyx@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Pratchett would say yes.

adding those on top of my footnote citations i think my page would be half full of footnotes 😅

[-] Azzu@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I hate footnotes. Every time I just wish it was added to the actual place where it is attached.
