I have this as a recipe -
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** Date Bread
\index[pies]{Date bread}\index[menu]{Bread!date}\index[cook]{Bake!date bread}\index{Fruit!dates}
/12 ounces stoned dates/\\
/1 teaspoonful bicarbonate of soda/\\
/1 cupful boiling water/\\
/4 ounces margarine/\\
/1 egg/\\
/2 cups flour/\\
/$\frac{1}{2}$ cup sugar/\\
/pinch of salt/
Cut dates into pieces, shake soda over the dates, and pour water over. Add margarine cut into small
pieces and stir well. Break egg into mixture, then add sugar and flour. Divide into two loaf tins
and bake 90 minutes in moderate oven, Regulo 4 (cite:0187).
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
How can I have the ingredients in a left-most column and the method in a
right-most column please? So that everything below the index entries is
in 2-column mode which ends after the citation. And it can then be
renewed below the next index entries of the next entry, ad infinitum.
This is for an org-mode document that is exported to latex and built
into a pdf file.
Thanks
Sharon.

You could use special blocks (section 12.10.10 of org manual). See attached example for your recipe. Does require LaTeX magic...

You're welcome. Glad it worked! Might be fragile, especially because of the use of minipages and if you have long recipes, so you might like to look at using the mdframed package: https://www.ctan.org/pkg/mdframed -- Eric S Fraga via Emacs 27.0.50, Org release_9.1.6-191-g90607d [-- Attachment #2: signature.asc --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 194 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

The solution is as I've shown above to use \footnotemark and then the \footnotetext{foo} where you want. But to get the new footnote to show t the bottom of the page like the rest of the document you also need to have in your preamble '#+latex_header: \usepackage[bottom]{footmisc}' which will then place your new footnote at the bottom of the generated PDF. But, and its a big but, you can't have any text decorations (think *bold*, _underline_, etc) in your footnote text as it breaks the positioning and display of the footnotes. As shown in this latex output - --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \section{Macaroon Tart} \label{sec:orgb1ba005} \index[pies]{Macaroon tart}\index[menu]{Tart!macaroon}\index[cook]{Bake!macaroon tart} \begin{ingredients} \emph{\uline{short pastry}}\footnotemark \\ \emph{jam}\\ \emph{1 teacupful sugar}\\ \emph{almond essence}\\ \emph{1 teacupful semolina}\\ \emph{1 reconstituted powdered egg}\\ \emph{3 ounces margarine} \end{ingredients} \begin{steps} \begin{itemize} \item Line the sandwich tin with short pastry. \item Spread jam over it and fill with mixture creamed together from all of the above ingredients. \item Bake in fairly hot oven for over 20 minutes (\cite{0186}). \end{itemize} \end{steps} \footnotetext\{See \uline{Short Pastry+} in Part 1 - Basics, Biscuits, Bread \& Pastries\} \footnotetext{See Short Pastry+ in Part 1 - Basics, Biscuits, Bread \& Pastries} \footnotetext{See *Short Pastry+* in Part 1 - Basics, Biscuits, Bread \& Pastries} --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The first footnote text breaks because of having the underlined text inside it, it inserts a backslash just before the first opening curly bracket, and places a backslash just before the closing curly bracket. Not good! The second footnote text works. The third footnote text breaks because of the org-mode decoration, specifically the stars to either side of 'Short Pastry+'. Maybe the org-mode exporter to latex could be altered to allow underlines in footnotes in minipages, but I suspect that it can't be done. I think that its one of those weird latex-isms, love it or hate it, you've got to use it to achieve nirvana! So to summarise - - if you want footnotes in minipages, you must - use \footnotemark where you want the footnote inside the minipage, and \footnotetext{foo} outside the minipage, - use #+latex_header: \usepackage[bottom]{footmisc} to place your built footnote at the page end, and finally - do not use any org-mode decoration of text to achieve *bold*, _underline_, etc within your \footnotetext{foo}, use plain text only. Thanks to Eric and Akater, for their suggestions.
