Bug? in latex export of cross-references in footnotes

Bug? in latex export of cross-references in footnotes

[Robert Goldman]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 578 bytes --]

Here is a simple footnote in a test file:

Footnotes:
[1]  The footnote contains a cross-reference to [[Heading]].

When I export this using org-export-as-pdf, the cross-reference to
Heading doesn't get exported properly.  In particular, what I see in the
emitted latex file is:

Inside the text there is a footnote.\protect\footnote{The footnote
contains a cross-reference to \hyperref[Heading]{Heading}. }

But the only latex \label associated with \section{Heading} is
\label{sec-1}.

I am attaching the sample org file and latex output.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Robert

I tweaked the example a little (see attachment), and this is a bona fide
bug.  A corresponding link in the body text (I have modified the link to
use the "restricted to headers" syntax, just in case that was the
problem), works properly.  It's only in the footnote that it's broken.

* Some more text
Here's text with a link in the body: [[*Heading]].

Footnotes: 
[1]  The footnote contains a cross-reference to [[*Heading]].

Yes, managing internal links within a footnote is a non-trivial task in
the LaTeX exporter. I'm working on a different approach.
