Small things: (1) Using the "fn:" style of footnotes, org generates a "Footnotes:" =20 section in HTML export. In org-footnote.el I found that I might need =20 to set org-footnote-tag-for-non-org-mode-files to change "Footnotes" to =20 "References" (or some other name), however, (setq org-footnote-tag-for-non-org-mode-files "References") does not seem to work for me. (2) If, with (setq org-export-html-footnote-format " [%s]") we now have a "[123]"-style of footnotes (that works great!), the list =20= of footnotes/references at the end of the document should also have =20 the square-bracket-notation. (3) I believe that the square-bracket-style might be of interest to =20 many users and maybe there should be a #+options-switch to toggle =20 superscript- and square-bracket-style.
