user7290: I think I've seen someone put footnotes in both questions and answers? Is this a feature I just can't find, a feature for only moderators or not a feature at all? Would it be an idea to have this feature if it's not already one? 

user-1: The feature is available to all users. 
You create a footnote by typing the following characters: <sup>1</sup>
It will look like this: 1. Then you can change the number in the note as you like.
Also you can pretend to edit a post e.g. click here to see (and learn from) the markdown which was used to format that post.
