I was working on my wiki and trying to figure out a way to make the footnotes more readable and get them to stand out more. I adjusted all of the footnote font sizes from 80% to 100% which helped quite a bit. I also made sure none of them were placed inside italicized text.
Last but not least I wanted them to stand out more. I recalled seeing a nice effect on the Subversion FAQ page where the selected FAQ had a red border. After attempting to read through the CSS and find the property (got hung up looking for a rules) I decided to Google it.
Found a bunch of neat sites such as this one: CSS Design: Taming Lists. Neat, but not quite what I was looking for.
It finally turned out to be this:
:target { border: 2px solid red; }
Figures.
