The FootnoteExtension adds the ability to create footnotes in Markdown documents.

Installation

This extension is bundled with league/commonmark. This library can be installed via Composer:

composer require league/commonmark

See the installation section for more details.

Footnote Syntax

Sample Markdown input:

Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget lacinia odio sem nec elit.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Morbi[^note1] leo risus, porta ac consectetur ac.

[^note1]: Elit Malesuada Ridiculus

Result:

<p>
    Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget lacinia odio sem nec elit.
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
    Morbi<sup id="fnref:note1"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:note1" role="doc-noteref">1</a></sup> leo risus, porta ac consectetur ac.
</p>
<div class="footnotes">
    <hr />
    <ol>
        <li class="footnote" id="fn:note1">
            <p>
                Elit Malesuada Ridiculus <a class="footnote-backref" rev="footnote" href="#fnref:note1">&#8617;</a>
            </p>
        </li>
    </ol>
</div>

Usage

Configure your Environment as usual and simply add the FootnoteExtension:

use League\CommonMark\CommonMarkConverter;
use League\CommonMark\Environment;
use League\CommonMark\Extension\Footnote\FootnoteExtension;

// Obtain a pre-configured Environment with all the CommonMark parsers/renderers ready-to-go
$environment = Environment::createCommonMarkEnvironment();

// Add the extension
$environment->addExtension(new FootnoteExtension());

// Set your configuration
$config = [
    // Extension defaults are shown below
    // If you're happy with the defaults, feel free to remove them from this array
    'footnote' => [
        'backref_class'      => 'footnote-backref',
        'container_add_hr'   => true,
        'container_class'    => 'footnotes',
        'ref_class'          => 'footnote-ref',
        'ref_id_prefix'      => 'fnref:',
        'footnote_class'     => 'footnote',
        'footnote_id_prefix' => 'fn:',
    ],
];

// Instantiate the converter engine and start converting some Markdown!
$converter = new CommonMarkConverter($config, $environment);
echo $converter->convertToHtml('# Hello World!');

This string option defines which HTML class should be assigned to the container at the bottom of the page which shows all the footnotes.

ref_class

This string option defines which HTML class should be assigned to rendered footnote reference elements.
