Howto generate LaTeX footnotes using \footnote{}

Howto generate LaTeX footnotes using \footnote{}

[Robert Hennig]

Dear orgmode list!

I'm would like to generate LaTeX footnotes
using the LaTeX macro \footnote{} if I export
the org-mode document to LaTeX. What do I have
to do - now I only get a plain '[..]' and the
footnote comes at the end of the document.
(I like to have the footnote on the page where
 it is referenced, he LaTeX \footnote{} should do this.)
Digging into the code I found the \footnote, but I'm
not this familiar to figure out howto actually
I could reproduce the desired behaviour.

Thank you a lot for the wonderful world of org-mode!

Yours,

Robert Hennig

how are you inserting the footnotes?  this works /out of the box/ for
me.  E.g. the following

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* footnotes
  The important citation[fn:1: this is an interesting source] is
  necessary to convince others of their[fn:2: whoever they may be] interest.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

together with a preamble template as inserted at the beginning of the
file using "C-c C-e t", generates the following latex:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

\title{footnotes}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}
\tableofcontents
\vspace*{1cm}
  The important citation\footnote{this is an interesting source } is
  necessary to convince others of their\footnote{whoever they may be } interest.

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I inserted my footnotes using "C-c C-x f".

HTH,

M-x customize-variable RET org-footnote-section RET


I guess it does what you want. The docstring states:

   "This can be nil, to place footnotes locally at the end of the
    current outline node."

Dear Eric,

thank you for your sample!
Indeed the way you use the footnotes works fine.
I recognized that the problem Is bound to footnotes insiside an
LaTeX Environment, like this:

-----------------------
#+OPTIONS: f:t
* footnote test
This Footnote [fn:1: the first  one] works fine.
\begin{quote}
But the second on [fn:2: inside a Latex Environment] does not
produce the desired behaviour.
\end{quote}
--------------------------
which results in:
...
This Footnote \footnote{the first  one } works fine.
\begin{quote}
But the second on [2] does not
produce the desired behaviour.
\end{quote}

$^{2}$ inside a Latex Environment
...
-------------------------

which is not the intended behaviour.

Best Regards,
Robert
