After opening a buffer and inserting a first footnote I changed via customize `footnote-style' from `numeric' to `english-lower.' That's the way, user will proceed with some probability, i.e. discovering after first footnote, that the style is not convenient. C-h v ... footnote-style is a variable defined in `footnote.el'. Its value is numeric Local in buffer ein.txt; global value is english-lower Next insertion brought the following: [a] [1] Footnotes: [a] [1] asd IMHO that shows two errors: - style is not taken - no renumbering Use of `Footnote-set-style' with the same buffer didn't work correct either [B] [a] [D] [1] [F] Footnotes: [a] [B] [D] [1] asd [F] Once a footnote in a certain style inserted, your bound to it presently. Remarkable beside here is the missing [C]. IMHO keeping `footnote-style' buffer-local from the beginning isn't the right thing. It should be a global value basicly. When toggling footnode-mode, than mode should check, - if buffer contains footnotes in global style, then read them in, update numbering - if buffer contains footnotes in a not global style then warn make recognised style buffer local (or offer changing global value?)
