 * Thank you very much for such a wonderful plugin highly customizable!
 * I just miss the possibility to place the References Container in any other position
   of the page/post itself in addition to the three options actually given: 1. in
   the footer, 2. at the end of the post, and 3. in the widget area.
 * To be precise, I need my footnotes to appear after the text and before the bibliographical
   references, as is typical in academic papers.
 * I have seen this feature implemented in another footnotes plugin by means of 
   a simple shortcode like “[reference/] that may be inserted anywhere along the
   text.
 * Hope to see it included in future updates. Thank you.

 * I would also like to see this implemented.
 * It is implemented in the “[Footnotes for WordPress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/footnotes-for-wordpress/)”
   plugin. Look for the discharge function:
 *     ```
       public function discharge ($atts = array(), $content = NULL, $code = '') {
   
       		// Get parameters
   
       		$atts = shortcode_atts ( array(
   
       			"class" => "footnotes",
   
       			"group" => NULL,
   
       		), $atts );
   
       		$notes = '';
   
       		if (count($this->accumulated) > 0) :
   
       			$notes = "<ol class=\"{$atts['class']}\">\n\t"
   
       				.implode("\n\t", array_map(array($this, 'implode_accumulated_line'), $this->accumulated))
   
       				."</ol>\n";
   
       			$this->accumulated = array();
   
       		endif;
   
       		return $notes;
       ```
   
 * In use, the shortcode looks like this:
 * `[references /]`
 * Would it be possible to simply add this code somewhere in the “Footnotes” plugin
   code stack?
 * (My problem with the “Footnotes for WordPress” plugin is that the CSS for the
   notes is unfortunately very ugly. In contrast, I really appreciate the clean 
   aesthetic of “Footnotes.”)
