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] * Footnotes [fn:Lisp_origin] See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp_(programming_language) for a brief historic overview.
