Proper footnote formatting and usage
Footnotes are a great way to add supplementary information without disrupting the main flow of your writing.
When to Use Footnotes
Use footnotes for citations, clarifications, or tangential information that would break the flow of your main text.
Formatting Best Practices
Keep footnotes concise. If your footnote requires more than a sentence or two, consider integrating the information into your main text.
