<p>A <em>footnote</em> is for a reference that documents or elucidates the
primary text.<a name="DOCF4" href="#FOOT4"><sup>4</sup></a>  Footnotes are distracting; use them
sparingly at most, and it is best to avoid them completely.  Standard
bibliographical references are better placed in a bibliography at the
end of a document instead of in footnotes throughout.

<p>A footnote should complement or expand upon the
primary text, but a reader should not need to read a footnote to
understand the primary text.  For a thorough discussion of footnotes,
see <cite>The Chicago Manual of Style</cite>, which is published by the
University of Chicago Press.</p>
