I'm writing something with a bunch of footnotes and instead of doing them by hand I'm using C-c C-x f, which in the usual Emacs/Org way strikes me as a more difficult at first but then turns into magic.
By default, adding a footnote puts it at the bottom of the document. This is
because of org-footnote-define-inline:
'Non-nil means define footnotes inline, at reference location. When nil,
footnotes will be defined in a special section near the end of the document.
When t, the [fn:label:definition] notation will be used to define the footnote
at the reference position."
However, there are three (not two) possible options available in STARTUP
options:
> fninline define footnotes inline
> fnnoinline define footnotes in separate section
> fnlocal define footnotes near first reference, but not inline
I found I like fnlocal, which puts the footnotes at the bottom of the paragraph
or section, where they are nearby and easy to see.
I'd like to make this the default in all Org files by setting
org-footnote-define-inline, but it seems I can't---all I can definte that way
are the fninline and fnnoinline options. Am I correct? Is there some way
around this, or perhaps a (setq org-footnote-define-inline 'fnlocal) setting
could be added?

I think you can get this by setting org-footnote-section to nil. (I
haven't tried this but am guessing based off of org-startup-options.)

How about:
(setq org-footnote-section nil)

Thanks, Kyle and Rasmus.
Attached is a tiny patch to add mention of this variable in the section of the
docs where all those options are listed.

Thank you. Would you mind using git format-patch for it and add a proper
commit message?
Also, wouldn't it make sense to use @vindex org-footnote-section in the
paragraph above?
Regards,
