<p>Are there any plugins or best practices for giving authors in Craft the ability to create footnotes within a Rich Text Field? Is anyone doing anything like this?</p>

I have a footnotes plugin in the works that I could share for beta testing really soon, Jonathan.

Jonathan, contact me on craft slack and I will send you a copy. Sorry that it took longer than expected, but I did another refactor and added new features.

I don't know of a solution for footnotes within Rich Text fields aside from the plugin referenced in the comments of the question. As an alternative, consider having a read over [Craft Your Content With Markdown And Matrix](https://experiencehq.net/blog/craft-with-markdown-and-matrix) by Stephen Lewis.

Next to [username_1' plugin](https://github.com/username_1/craft-footnotes) (which is still in private beta apparently) there's also [Craft Footnotes](https://github.com/Vierbeuter/craft-footnotes).
