Confluence macro for specifying a reference, source of the quotation, etc.?

Question

Is there a way in Confluence for specifying a reference to a text passage — for example, to provide the source of the quoted text, in a similar way as is done on Wikipedia, so that it's rendered like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet¹

[down the page]

---

¹ Cicero

Ideally, the subscript "1" should be an internal hyperlink

Answer 1

I believe this plugin may help: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.adaptavist.confluence.footnotes

The footnotes plugin allows you to quickly and easily add footnote references to your wiki pages.

You can:

• Define Footnotes - Define any number of footnotes throughout your content
• Display Footnotes - Display a table of footnotes anywhere in the page
• Quickly move between content and footnotes with a click of the mouse

Answer 2

You can do it using anchors:

Pros:

• It is native in Confluence

Cons:

• It is a very manual procedure (no automatic numbering, etc.)
