## FAQ

  Why would this be useful?

Sometimes when writing a post, you may collect additional resources to build the
post. Such as reference URLs, thoughts, additional topics, forum threads to post
in, etc. With this you can keep that info with the post, but it remains hidden to
users.

  What happens if I deactivate the plugin?

Your notes will not be lost, but they will be publicly visible and seen the same
as they’re in your post, example: [note] my notes [/note]
