Subject: Problem with named footnotes and LaTeX export?
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2010 11:56:45 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C6419BD.8030909@limist.com> (raw)

Hi,

First, thank you to all Org-mode contributors, it is a marvelous 
productivity tool and truly lives up to its motto of managing life in 
plain text.

Now on to a possible bug. :)  I have noticed that when I include named 
footnotes within an unordered list, the LaTeX exported file has 
problems, and mixes in the text (after the first word) of a named 
footnote directly within the text of the unordered list item.  Named 
footnotes that are in ordered lists are exported without a problem.

This bug may be the same one that was described in this message, though 
the OP didn't provide follow-up information:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/23637/
...also, I think the problem does not happen with numbered footnotes in 
unordered lists, as the single response message by Matt Lundin showed.

I'm using a current (git-pulled as of this morning) version of Org-mode, 
with Emacs 23.2.50.  An example .org file to test (and hopefully 
reproduce) the problem is included below; the problem can be seen by 
doing an export to LaTeX (with optional view in PDF).

Thanks in advance for any help/debugging,

Kai



Test Orgmode's Handling of Named Footnotes

* Intro
This is the opening paragraph, without much to say at the moment.  But
forsooth, let us praise Lisp.


* A Bit About John McCarthy
- Lisp was created and designed by John McCarthy.[fn:Lisp_origin]
- McCarthy's first publication on Lisp was "Recursive Functions of
   Symbolic Expressions and Their Computation by Machine (Part
   I)."[fn:First_Lisp_paper]


* Lisp's Amazingness
1. What's amazing about Lisp is how small the core language is; it's
   the computing equivalent of Maxwell's equations! Originally McCarthy
   described just seven functions and two special forms:
   - atom, car, cdr, cond, cons, eq, quote, lambda, label
2. 50 years on, other programming languages are finally beginning to
    approach Lisp's power and generality.[fn:Graham_on_Lisp]
