If you add a footnote that starts with an URL, latex export fails to recognize it as a hypertext. My quick fix has been to add a nonbreaking space before the URL. I'd love to see this fixed in the repo.
#---------------------------Example text--------------------------
#+TITLE: Hypertext export in a footnote
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
* Main text
Two search engines google[fn:google] and bing[fn:bing].
* Footnotes
#---------------------------Example text--------------------------
I prefer the look of the footnote (in PDF) with a space separating the number and the text, but is the tight coupling such a well established convention that this has to be fixed in some other way than adding a tilde into the latex?
