FOOTNOTE
Type: $blogExpOpt
Scope: self (sub-posts only)
Purpose: Exports note as footnote
For sub-posts only.
A BoxPress footnote is a note that exports as its own page, is removed from the main text flow, does not appear in the Table of Contents, and has no date.
To force a sub-post to export as a footnote, just add FOOTNOTE to the note’s $blogExpOpt.
FOOTNOTE sub-posts are easily spotted in Outline View, for their Outline Background Color is set to dark green. Change the value of the custom color _ownpage to change this.
