If the author uses the a special code for [ and ], e.g. #91; and #93; then the note is exported correctly. -------------------------------------------------------- ** example This is not anymore a broken footnote.[fn:: Some book at #91; 42-24 #93;.] Exports to: This is not anymore broken footnote.[1] [1] Some book at #91; 42-24 #93;. ---------------------------------------------------------- But then the file have to be post-processed to substitute #91; and #93; Place these lines in .emacs, or evaluate them (goto the last ") " and hit C-x C-e) for the current session : ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (add-hook 'org-export-html-final-hook 'gio/replace-square-brackets) (add-hook 'org-export-ascii-final-hook 'gio/replace-square-brackets) (defun gio/replace-square-brackets () "Replace #91; with [ and #93; with ] " (interactive) (setq a "#91;") ; use "\[" for LaTeX export (setq a1 "[") (setq b "#93;") ; use "\]" for LaTeX export (setq b1 "]") (ignore-errors (goto-char 1) (setq p (point)) (while (< p (point-max)) (re-search-forward a nil nil) (replace-match a1) (setq p (point)) ) ) ;; (ignore-errors (goto-char 1) (setq p (point)) (while (< p (point-max)) (re-search-forward b nil nil) (replace-match b1) (setq p (point)) ) ) (save-buffer) ) ---------------------------------------------------------- Tested for HTML, ASCII. For the LaTeX export the line: This is not anymore a broken footnote.[fn:: Some book at #91; 42-24#93;.] exports to: This is not anymore a broken footnote.\footnote{Some book at \[ 42-24 \]. } So the LaTeX seems to convert directly the #9?; character. Not tested for docbook. HTH Giovanni
