Ok thanks i have used the system you said and it works but you wouldn't
know what file i would need to edit and where i would need to edit to add
a h1 title just above the hr on the footer notes?
turnermm
The line above the footnotes is a CSS property, a 1px top border to the footnotes div. I guess you could edit that out in design.css in your template directory and then place your own h1 title at the end of the page in its place.

Thanks for the help oh an I hope I'm not asking to much but it seems you
know more about the files than me so i'll ask one more question.
When you enter in (("msg")) as a footnote the numbers come up like "1)"
which file is the function in so i can change it so it shows up like "[1]" ?
turnermm
That's an internal Dokuwiki function. I guess you could write a syntax plugin to do this but I don't think you want to go there.

I'm really good with php, I have over 7 sites working with php and mysql. I was
just wondering what file I would need to look in to change the brackets because
the numbers can show up dynamically but the ")" after the number would have to
be put somewhere in the code.

I'm afraid I can't help you; I've never looked at this.

Ok thanks for your help

Although it is complicated, may I suggest that you look at file inc/parser/xhtml.php[/m] in your DokuWiki installation. Docs say that function [m]footnote_close contains the programming to output the footnote link, so most likely the "n)" format is located somewhere there. You'd have to substitute an expression like that to "[n]" to achieve what you want.
Regards,
Luis

Just as a piece of info, I noticed this a.m. that Wikipedia uses square brackets for footnotes--I never would have noticed had you not asked about it.
