FootnoteLink

Validate footnote numbering, citation links, and cross-reference integrity

Text & WritingFree

FootnoteLink validates the integrity of footnote and endnote systems in manuscripts by checking that every footnote marker has a corresponding note body, that numbering sequences are unbroken, that cross-references point to existing sections, and that bibliography entries match in-text citations. The tool handles multiple citation styles including Chicago notes-bibliography, MLA, APA, and legal citation formats. Academic authors and legal document preparers use it as a final check before submission to catch the numbering errors and orphaned references that manual proofreading frequently misses.
