Yes, Footnotes in Org are single paragraph. Maybe this could be changed, if enough people claim they need this. I never have the need for this, and new lines can be made with "\\" at the end of a line. > Also, is there a way to make footnote references work when they start > in column 0? Reformatting a paragraph sometimes puts them there for > me. The solution for this is to make footnote references stick to the word before them. This also gives much better results in HTML and LaTeX export. I would have liked to even enforce this convention, but that would have been incompatible with the old footnote.el behavior. - Carsten > > > Latest org release with (setf org-footnote-section nil). > > Thanks. > > -- > For personal and corporate gain, myalgic encephalomyelitis denialists > are knowingly causing massive suffering and 25-years-early death by > grossly corrupting science. > http://www.meactionuk.org.uk/What_Is_ME_What_Is_CFS.htm > > > _______________________________________________ > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

Useful because \\ does not fill correctly, in my filladapt setup, at least. I am likely to use footnotes in one of 2 ways: the document is the body of a single entry, in which case I want footnotes at the end of that, or the document is the whole org file. I tried the former, and it of course does not insert "Footnotes:". However, if it did, perhaps it would be easier to code having more than one paragraph. This is, for me, not a big issue at all. Just a suggestion that might work. By the way, I found that sorting footnotes had the effect of not sorting them fully (at least when there is one foothnote that was deleted; have not narrowed down) and also moving footnotes in other parts of the org file. When I am using footnotes in one part of an org file, I would want other parts not to be affected. So perhaps a variable can control this behavior. Perhaps by unoverloading org-footnote-section? Again not a huge issue, just a suggestion. Thanks for the tips. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

Hi Samuel, maybe you missed this in a different message: The best is to use "\par", this will also work when filling puts it into the middle of a line. > I am likely to use footnotes in one of 2 ways: the document is the > body of a single entry, in which case I want footnotes at the end of > that, or the document is the whole org file. > > I tried the former, and it of course does not insert "Footnotes:". > However, if it did, perhaps it would be easier to code having more > than one paragraph. > > This is, for me, not a big issue at all.

This test case illustrates some issues with footnotes (apparent bugs, things to watch out for when making future changes, and desirable features that Carsten might or might not want to implement). To test, place on "hmm" and c-u c-c c-c s. 1) loses text, deleting it altogether (document 2). 2) tiny inconsistency: when org-return-follows-link is true, RET on definition takes you to ref, but places point so that RET again does not get you back. (possibly intended behavior.) 3) does not ignore comments when linting (org inserts error). 4) sort order is wrong if you do take comments into account. 5) moves comments (document 2) 6) does not keep separate documents separate (org-footnote-section is nil because we want them separate) - moves definitions from one part of outline tree to another (note move from document 3). this is the most disconcerting, and feels to me like a bug. perhaps the intent was for all org files to be considered to be documents. - this variable should perhaps be un-overloaded to allow a footnotes section per node. - perhaps then the paragraph problem can be easily solved as a side-effect 7) does not renumber numbered references for the author's sake (fn:6 before fn:3 in source) 8) does not renumber for ascii output (fn:1 was deleted but is not replaced in ascii output) 9) does not replace \par with a blank line in ascii output 10) does not let the author separate paragraphs in defs and refill without the paragraphs being merged for the author (i.e. blank lines would be nice) 11) requires attachment to word to avoid refilling causing it to seem like a definition (fn:5) -- this one is possibly fixed! Mentioning just in case it is not. Hope I didn't introduce any rtfm bugs here. Also hope gmail didn't introduce transport bugs. These are not major issues for me personally. Hope it helps. Thanks. * top *** another completely separate document -- 3 [1] hi, i am in document 3 \par this is another paragraph, but you can't refill it because the author will see it merged. i'm told the exported text will be ok. but it is not. \\ another way suggested earlier, same result. exported text is ok. dear mr. brown: oh, here's a footnote def without a ref that i wanted to keep around: *** a document -- 1 dear mr. smith: fn:1 has been deleted #[fn:2]this is a comment of a previous footnote definition. #(author deleted ref) sadfkjn k jthis n klsjan skdljfn akljsdn fklajnsdfklajns [fn:5] this[fn:6] is a test[fn:3] of footnote sorting. recursive definitions seem to work, so not testing them here.
