I have the following footnote: [fn:1: Although this risk is usually negligible, bank cheques are not "the same as cash": see Sidney Raper Pty Ltd v Commonwealth Trading Bank of Australia [1975] 2 NSWLR 227; Justin Seward Pty Ltd v Commissioner of Rural and Industries Bank (1980) 60 FLR 51; and Yan v Post Office Bank Ltd [1994] 1 NZLR 150] The problem, of course, is that Org-mode thinks that the right bracket at the end of [1975] terminates the footnote. Part of the footnote becomes regular text. I can probably do some kind of a hack for my own purposes, but shouldn't footnotes allow balanced []s inside? Thanks for any comments (or for any suggested hack), Alan -- Alan L Tyree http://www2.austlii.edu.au/~alan Tel: 04 2748 6206
