The state of footnotes in 2023

[joe_g]

Hi all,

I'm about to start a new project that will use footnotes and I'm wondering of the state of things now in 2023 (almost 2024). In the past I've used a repeater for footnotes and manually looked for id's in the main text to do my own insert and links. Is there a better way today?

I found this

but it's not clear to me if I have control over the output with this module. I would need to handle the markup myself (in this case, place the footnote in the margin and have a popup for mobile). And since I anyway have to insert a special tag [^1] then i might as well go the manual route with a repeater for more control. But maybe I'm wrong, and maybe there are other options?

many thanks for your thoughts
