The best settings i could get are > > (setq footnote-spaced-footnotes nil) > (setq footnote-body-tag-spacing 1) > (setq footnote-style 'latin) > (setq footnote-section-tag "") footnote.el seems broken in this regard: (1) Setting `footnote-section-tag' without simultaneously setting `footnote-section-regexp' to a value matching `footnote-section-tag'= like you did will give unpredictable results. Probably the option `footnote-section-regexp' should be removed and `regexp-quote' used instead. (2) You can't set `footnote-section-regexp' to match the empty string, it will always match at eob even when there are footnotes before it.= A separate value would be needed to indicate that a user doesn't want to set a section tag. (3) If you don't set a section tag you can't reliably use `Footnote-narrow-to-footnotes' since this is searching for a section= tag. Also `Footnote-delete-footnote' might fail when all footnotes have been removed :-(
