The attached file, when exported to ODT fails to open in LibreOffice
exporter. The reason failure is that the exported __XML__ file has
"nested footnote definiton" i.e., a footnote definition within a
footnote definiton. In concrete terms, there is some confusion wrt
the return value of `org-export-footnote-first-reference-p'.
(Hint: Start with `org-odt-footnote-reference'. If my hunch is right,
the `org-export-data' invocation there may also need a fix).
I will be happy to circulate a patch to ox-odt.el.

Hi,
Thanks for this. You have
[fn:1] footdef1[fn:2]
[fn:2] footdef2
What do you expect to see in ODT? Presumably not a footnote in a
footnote, since LibreOffice doesn't allow you to place one.
An ODT cross-reference to the footnote? That makes sense, but should
that be achieved by footnoting inside a footnote, or is the appropriate
thing to do to use a dedicated target and link?
[fn:1] footdef1, see also [[thatotherfootnote]].
[fn:2] <<thatotherfootnote>>footdef2
That seems to works nicely e.g. in HTML export.
But I get an error message when I try it in ODT export (OpenDocument
export failed: number-or-marker-p, nil -- can't be more detailed at the
moment because my debugger doesn't seem to work correctly).
So either way, there seems to be something that needs fixing.
Yours,
Christian

Yes.

Yes, just like that in the snippet.
That said, it is difficult for me to conceive of a footnote that is
referenced solely by other footnotes. i.e., it is reasonable to assume
that a given footnote is either not referenced at all or is referenced
atleast once in the main text itself.

There's no need to make such an assumption.
Using link-target within the footnotes should be fixed. Thank you.

I still think that the snippet I shared should have worked. Clearly
`org-export-footnote-first-reference-p' is misbehaving.
> Using link-target within the footnotes should be fixed. Thank you.
This could be a workaround. But it introduces the overhead of
conjuring up a new link. Instead of sneaking a <<>> link right in to
the text, another alternative would be to go with:
#+NAME: test
[fn:1] footdef1.

It does, e.g., when exporting to LaTeX. This is an odt limitation. So,
I disagree, `org-export-footnote-first-reference-p' is correct here.

Let me put my question this way:
What changes need to be made in ox.el and/or ox-odt.el so that the
snippet I shared produces the right XML acceptable for LibreOffice.
text1 [fn:1]
text2 [fn:2]
[fn:1] footdef1[fn:2]
[fn:2] footdef2
For purposes of ODT backend, we need to find the 'site of first
reference' THAT IS OUTSIDE OF A foonote definition. Would it be
possible for you to augment the API so that I can request such a reference.
NOTE: The XML that is emitted by the ODT exporter, suggests that the
'[fn:2]' occurring in '[fn:1]' is treated as site of first reference.
We would like to make '[fn:2]' occurring next to 'text2' be treated as
the site of first reference. If we do that, everything will be just right.

Aloha Vaidheeswaran,
This is an odd example that I don't recall having seen in any
publication. I don't doubt examples might exist, but don't remember
having seen one. Can you point me to a real-world example of a footnote
referring to a subsequent footnote that I might reference either on-line
or in my local library?
All the best,
Tom

I am OCRing this book:
http://wenshuchan-online.weebly.com/uploads/9/4/8/2/9482304/chan-and-zen-teachingpdf.pdf.
This book is atleast 50 years old.
You can find the converted files here:
https://archive.org/details/TheDiamondCutterOfDoubts
The actual text extract goes something as below. I am attaching the
scanned image of the book in question.
------------------------
# page 159
Now they saw uncountable and limitless numbers of living beings in the
universe[fn:145-1] and wondered when all these beings could be saved
and how they could obtain the Buddha fruit since the universe would
never be emptied of these beings.
# page 169
#+BEGIN_QUOTE
'Subhuti, what do you think? If someone filled the Universe[fn:155-4]
with the seven treasures[fn:155-5] and gave them all as alms, would
his merit be great?’
Subhuti replied: 'Very great, World Honoured One. Why? Because this
merit is not the nature of merit, the Tathagata says it is
great.’[fn:155-6]
‘Subhuti, if on the other hand, someone received and kept even a four
line stanza of this sutra and expounded it to others, his merit would
surpass that (of the giver of treasures). Why? (Because), Subhuti, all
Buddhas and their Supreme-Enlightenment-Dharma originate from this
sutra. Subhuti, the so-called Buddhas and Dharmas are not real Buddhas
and Dharmas.'[fn:155-7]
#+END_QUOTE
[fn:145-1] Literally ‘the great trichiliocosm’. See footnote 4, p.
169.[fn:155-4]
[fn:155-4] Tri-sahasra-maha-sahasra-loka-dhatu=a great
trichiliocosm. Mt. Sumeru and its seven surrounding continents, eight
seas and ring of iron mountains form one small world; 1,000 of these
form a small chiliocosm; 1,000 of these small chiliocosms form a
medium chiliocosm; 1,000 of these form a great chiliocosm, which
consists of 1,000,000,000 small worlds. The word ‘universe’ is used
for convenience sake.

Aloha Vaidheeswaran,
Thanks very much for the detailed response and the link to the book.
That's an interesting example I won't soon forget. The forward
reference in the footnote is unusual. In this case it appears to be
standing in for the lack of an index entry for either "trichiliocosm" or
"chiliocosm."
It's eye opening to see Org mode at work so deep in the humanities.
All the best,
Tom

I think the following should work
(defun org-odt-footnote-first-reference-p (footnote-reference info)
"Non-nil when FOOTNOTE-REFERENCE is the first one for its label.
INFO is a plist containing current export state. Unlike to
`org-export-footnote-first-reference-p', this function ignores
footnote definitions. As a consequence, it assumes that for
a given label, there is at least one footnote reference outside
any footnote definition in the document."
(let ((label (org-element-property :label footnote-reference)))
(or (not label)
(eq footnote-reference
(org-element-map (plist-get info :parse-tree) 'footnote-reference
(lambda (fn) (and (equal (org-element-property :label fn) label)
fn))
info t 'footnote-definition)))))

I'd rather not change the API, as this makes an unnecessary assumption.
Note that `org-export-get-footnote-number' also assumes the same. E.g.
text1 [fn:foo]
text2 [fn:quux]
text3 [fn:bar]
[fn:foo] footdeffoo[fn:bar]
[fn:bar] footdefbar
[fn:quux] footdefquux

If the function above works for your use case, I'll install a patch in
ox-odt.

Allow me to revisit this thread in a week or 10 days so that I can
1. take a look at ODF standard.
2. dig in to LibreOffice discussion lists to see whether such
instances have ever surfaced (and how they were dealt with).
Until then, please keep the patch in waiting.

Too late.
Having slept over your idea, I think you're right. We should extend
footnote export API to provide an alternate order for tree walking, as
long as footnote definitions are not ignored.
This should now be fixed in master.
Of course, if you find something new, we can always make further
changes.
Thank you.

First and foremost, mixing links and footnotes would be a maintenance
burden. The link-target association does just that, and I think it is
sufficient.
Also, Org can renumber automatically footnotes, so it should also check
every link in the buffer to possibly update it.
I think it's a false good idea.
