What does it do?
This mod adds a "nb" button to your message editor. The new [nb] tag allows you to show footnotes (aka nota bene) in a message, just like in Wikipedia or Spip.

Features

• It works.
• You can nest footnotes within each other as well (if you're crazy enough to do that (like those people who enjoy parentheses too much for their own sake (see what I mean?))).
• If you quote footnotes, they will appear inside the quotes, rather than below your message, in order to avoid confusion about who posted what. (SMF2 only)

License Agreement
Do you like reading annoying legal mumbo-jumbo? Neither do I. So let's cut the crap and skip to the rules.
Footnotes is completely free to use, even on commercial websites. By installing it, however, you agree to the following rules.
Otherwise, you're in breach of the licence and will be exposed to potential damage such as a lawsuit, complete and utter humiliation in public, and not finding your shoes when you're already late for work.

• You will not distribute a modified version of it,
• You will not install/use it on a website that encourages and/or endorses violence, hate and/or any kind of bigotry. Be nice to each other!

Compatibility
It should work on any version of SMF 1.1.x and any version of SMF 2.0 (Beta 2 or later). The quoted footnotes feature only works on SMF2, though.
All previous versions of this mod MUST be uninstalled BEFORE installing this version. Also, make sure to backup your database and files first.

Support

• You may need/want to edit the style.css additions if you want to apply the mod on a custom theme.
• The nb.gif BBCode icon should be in /Themes/default/images/bbc, if you need it for your custom theme.
• That's all for now.

Changelog
v1.08
! A last-minute code optimization broke multiple footnotes. Oops.

v1.07
! Fixed quoted footnotes compatibility with SMF2 Public RC3
* Improved compatibility with other mods at install time

v1.06
! Quoting messages with footnotes would break them if user has Wysiwyg enabled by default.

v1.05
! Fixed compatibility with SMF2 Public RC2

v1.03
+ Added support for nested footnotes. You can now have a footnote inside another footnote (and so on). The footnote will be shown immediately below its parent.
+ When quoting a message that has a footnote, the footnote will now appear directly at the bottom of the related quote, rather than below the entire post, which should clear confusion about who wrote which footnote (the poster or the quoted).
! Fixed support for SMF2's Curve theme. 'clear: both' had to go... If you're having layout issues because of this, use 'overflow: auto' on the parent div. If that means anything to you.
* [nb] tag is now case insensitive

v1.02
! If two or more footnotes had the same content in a single message,
  links pointing to the duplicate contents would be broken

v1.01
! The tag would break when switching between Wysiwyg modes in SMF2

v1.0
