Export: definition lists; ordered lists

Export: definition lists; ordered lists

[Alan L Tyree]

G'day Orgers,

Problem 1: definition lists when exported to HTML, ODT or ASCII look
just like they do in the ort-mode file. Shouldn't they be "fixed up"
somehow?

Problem 2: I need to export footnotes that are not Org footnotes. They
look like this:

1. This is footnote one

2. This is footnote two

Of course, the exporter thinks that I am dealing with ordered
lists. According to the manual (*if* I understand it correctly), I
should be able to get what I want with:

[@1]. This is footnote 1.

[@2]. This is footnote 2.

But I don't. The exported text looks exactly like the two lines above.

Am I doing something wrong?

(I cheated on the problem by leaving off the full stop in the originals,
but I would like it there).

Cheers, and thanks for any comments,
Alan

Could you give examples of the "fixed up" output you expect in these
cases?

What are "footnotes" that are not "Org footnotes"? Do you mean "I need
to use lists instead of footnotes"?

I'm not sure to understand, but, IIUC, you want a list with counters.
The correct syntax should then be:

  3. [@3] This is footnote 3

You don't have to specify a counter on each item, as numbers of items
below will be incremented automatically.
