The org-mode footnote > program can't do it [...] Yes, all tho I'm not an org-mode user, I'm pretty sure it can :) Else that would be plain horrible. How do you make a reference/footnote in org-mode? Because if its all good in document A, and all good in document B, you should be able to just merge A an B into a new document AB and then get correct footnotes. (here, merge = find-file AB, yank A, yank B, org-mode does its thing -> correct footnotes) -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 https://dataswamp.org/~incal
