Copy this into your editor to see what it renders:

| Tables             |      Are      |    Cool |
| ------------------ | :-----------: | ------: |
| col 2 is           |   centered    |   \$149 |
| col 3 is           | right-aligned |  \$4.17 |
| privacy is         |     neat      |  \$2.48 |
| rows don't need to |   be pretty   |   what? |
| the last line is   |  unnecessary  | really? |
| one more           |      row      | Yay! 😆 |

The Markdown Basic editor supports footnotes. The footnote links do not work properly on mobile. Copy this into your note to see how they're used:

You can create footnote references that are short[^1] or long.[^2]
You can also create them inline.^[which may be easier,
since you don't need to pick an identifier and move down to type the note]
The footnotes are automatically numbered at the bottom of your note,
but you'll need to manually number your superscripts.
Make sure to count your variable[^variable] footnotes.[^5]

[^1]: Here's a footnote.
[^2]: Here’s a footnote with multiple blocks.

    Subsequent paragraphs are indented to show that they belong to the previous footnote.

        { eight spaces for some code }

    The whole paragraph can be indented, or just the first
    line. In this way, multi-paragraph footnotes work like
    multi-paragraph list items.

This paragraph won’t be part of the footnote, because it
isn’t indented.

[^variable]: The variable footnote is the fourth footnote.
[^5]: This is the fifth footnote.
