> Can anyone summarise the hangout discussion? > The discussion starts here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=0xWd4nhlQoE#t=6299 To summarise, I was trying to explore whether people were after: * The specific interactive effect of clicking on a footnote link and being taken to the bottom of the tiddler to read the text * The writing style of referencing the footnote in the body of the tiddler, but having the footnote text at the bottom of the tiddler * Automatic numbering of footnotes To me there are two fairly straightforward Tiddly-esque way of handling footnotes: * Extending tiddler links so that they can show the target tiddler in a popup * A slider-style syntax (like Daniel's example) The advantage of the former approach is that it allows the same footnote to be referenced from multiple places in the text, while the latter is a lot easier to type. The two approaches could render in (almost) the same way, to give the same user experience.
