11> littlefoot is a lightweight JavaScript library that creates exceptional footnotes. It was forked from Bigfoot.js by Chris Sauvé and does not require jQuery.

13> Simply include the code on your pages and footnotes will be detected automatically and improved in the following ways:
14>
15> - Links to footnotes will be replaced with clickable/tappable buttons, making them substantially easier to hit.
16>
17> - Footnote content will appear in a popover directly beside the footnote button when it is clicked/tapped, which cuts out the annoying bouncing around the page that footnotes typically result in.
18>
19> - The active popovers will be resized and repositioned to ensure that they continue to be completely visible on-screen and aesthetically pleasing: this makes it perfect for mobile devices and responsive designs.
20>
21> - Supports the markup generated by MultiMarkdown by default.
