- You can insert footnotes directly into texts with
[fn]This text becomes a footnote.[/fn]
. This will be replaced with a running number (the footnote reference) and the text within the [fn] tags will be moved to the bottom of the page (the footnote). See <a href="http://drupal.org/project/footnotes">Footnotes Readme page</a> for additional usage options. - Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.
- Easily link to terms in various wikis or other websites by typing [prefix:term]. Use the "|" character to create a "piped link," e.g., "[LII:public transport|public transportation]" displays as "public transportation." For a full list of available prefixes and the websites to which they point, see interwiki.
