Numbers in square brackets are treated as footnote markers, and lines starting with such a marker are interpreted as the footnote itself. You can use the Emacs package footnote.el to create footnotes1. For example:
The Org homepage[1] now looks a lot better than it used to.
[1] The link is: http://orgmode.org
[1] The
footnote package uses C-c ! to invoke its commands. This
binding conflicts with the Org mode command for inserting inactive time
stamps. You could use the variable footnote-prefix to switch
footnotes commands to another key. Or, if you are too used to this binding,
you could use org-replace-disputed-keys and org-disputed-keys
to change the settings in Org.
