    Read the result notes before using exported files. SVG paper sizes require actual-size printing; browser fit-to-page can change scale. HTML downloads are self-contained reports, not live projects.

    How to use Markdown Footnote Auditor

    1. Load the example to see the expected input format: Markdown with [^labels].
    2. Review the source before processing; no extra settings are required. Open a UTF-8 file if that is easier than pasting.
    3. Choose Create result. Review the table, preview and tool-specific notes; changing an input clears the previous result.
    4. Download the full result or a printable report. Save a project to reopen these inputs and settings later.

No input is fetched from a URL or uploaded for this processing. Site advertising and analytics are described in the privacy information.
