How to make use of it:

1. Load the jQuery library and jQuery plugin files ys.js annotation into the document.

<link href="path/to/explainys.js.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="path/to/explainys.js.js"></script>

2. Use the data title and data annotation attributes to create a footnote/side margin.

<span class="explain" 
      data-title="Title" 
      data-explain="Content goes here">
      ... Text ...
</span>

3. Create an empty container to place the footnote/sidenote.

<div id="sidecontent">
  <!-- explainys goes in here -->
</div>

4. Call the function to initialize the plugin with default options.

$('article').explainys();

$('article').explainys({

// The class of the details element
detailsClass: 'explainys',

targetDiv: "#sidecontent",

//Default snippet when text is missing
textFail: "Opps!!! Someone forgot to write the sidenote.☺",
