To create a footnote in Markdown, you will need two things, a superscript number and a footnote reference. A superscript number is created by placing a caret followed by a number inside a pair of square brackets.
[^number]
A footnote reference is created by adding another caret and the same number used in a superscript inside square brackets. It is followed by a colon and text.
[^number]: text
Note: GitHub flavored markdown does not support footnotes.
