What are Footnotes in Obsidian?
Footnotes are used to provide additional information or references in a body of text. In Obsidian, a footnote consists of the following parts: a footnote marker and a corresponding footnote detail.
Marker names can be numbers or words, but they can’t contain spaces or tabs.
In Obsidian (and other Markdown editors), the names of footnote markers and details only specifies which markers correlate to which details. In Reading View, each footnote marker-detail pair will be numbered sequentially regardless of what you named it before.

Inline footnotes can contain spaces.
In Reading View, these are moved to the bottom of the page alongside the other footnotes.
