Troubles with footnote-mode

Troubles with footnote-mode

[Tassilo Horn]

Hi,

I often use footnote-mode when writing postings. The only configurations
I made are these:

,----[ from ~/.emacs ]
| (add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'footnote-mode)
| (setq footnote-spaced-footnotes nil)
`----

The problem with that is, that all footnotes after the first one appear
below the signature.

So here's a test (see footnotes below): [1], this one is ok. [2], below
sig. [3], below sig. After the second footnote, jumping back to the text
(C-c ! b, `Footnote-back-to-message') doesn't work, too.

If `footnote-spaced-footnotes' is t, all footnotes are correctly
set. Without signature, everything works as intended, too.

The footnote section marker and the signature separator regexp have
their default values and should be allright.

,----[ C-h v footnote-section-tag RET ]
| footnote-section-tag is a variable defined in `footnote.el'.
| Its value is "Footnotes: "
| 
| Documentation:
| *Tag inserted at beginning of footnote section.
`----

,----[ C-h v footnote-signature-separator RET ]
| footnote-signature-separator is a variable defined in `footnote.el'.
| Its value is "^-- *$"
| 
| Documentation:
| *String used to recognize .signatures.
`----

Any help?

Bye,
Tassilo

configuration.

Seems like a bug. Could you post it to gnus newsgroup? I'm also
interested to know a fix.

Why gnus newsgroup? footnote.el is part of GNU Emacs.

Let's test. [1] is ok. [2] ok, too. [3], all ok.

Yes, now it works as expected. Thanks for your help.

BTW: Is there a way to apply patches attached to postings from within
Gnus/Emacs?

Hi Tassilo,

in XEmacs it's under
Tools->Apply Patch->To a file...
Tools->Apply Patch->To a buffer...

The functions in question are:

ediff-patch-file
and
ediff-patch-buffer

Great, works the same in GNU Emacs.

  Thanks !

  Could someone please check this patch and install it if it's OK ?

  BTW, just  to comment this patch: the  (goto-char (point-max)) thing
  supposed  that  the buffer  was  narrowed  to  footnotes. The  lines
  I added  are taken from the  narrowing function, it's  the part that
  tells what is the end of the narrowed region.

  I haven't seen the following (minor) patch installed.

  Andrew M. Scott sent me a complete study of this package, I'll have
  a look at it in some week.
