I've given up on cool and use the following instead: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (latex "%s\\footnote{%s\\\\ %s}\\marginpar{\\fbox{\\thefootnote}}" '((unless (eq todo "") (format "\\fbox{\\textsc{%s%s}}" todo priority)) heading content)) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- > - Some of my notes are multi paragraphs, which I prefer non-indented > and separated by a line break rather than no line break and indented. > But when exported, multiple paragraphs just "stack up" with no line > break. Can I add this to your format? Yes, this is a problem with latex and not org. It is very difficult (read: I have never managed to figure out how to do it ;-) to control the parskip and parsep aspects of paragraphs in a footnote. The =endnotes= package should allow you to control the behaviour more but even there I have not been entirely successful (I can get it to listen to parskip but not parident settings). -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.50.1 : using Org-mode version 7.5 (release_7.5.176.g2c8e9)
