When I do 'org-lint' on "~/research/drugs/drugs17-a2i.org" I get this as a reply --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 535 high Unknown fuzzy location "What is a bad trip?" 4101 high Unknown fuzzy location "Opium" 4312 high Unknown fuzzy location "Poppers" 4312 high Unknown fuzzy location "Nitrous oxide" 4358 high Unknown fuzzy location "Poppers" --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Which are section headers in different parts of the various files. Also, if I try to insert a footnote inside the parent file it try's to renumber the footnotes, which then causes problems with the other child files. I do have '#+STARTUP: fnadjust' in the preamble of the parent file. So how can I lock the footnotes to allow me to enter a new footnote without scrambling the order and sequences of the footnotes in both parent and child files please? The file is only 1.4mbs, but it has does have 23,985 lines and it is glacially-slow in navigating the file, and it does take up large percentages of CPU usage. Is there any way in which I could somehow make emacs change its capabilities to allow files with large number of line numbers please?
