Thanks Chuck. Yes it is 'repeating text' that I want in my reused footnotes. The problem with the latex solutions that you've proposed is that they rely on what I call 'static footnotes' meaning that the footnote number always stays the same, whereas org-mode uses 'dynamic footnotes' meaning that if you insert one between 3 and 4 they are automatically renumbered to "3 and new one 4 and 5". When you're writing a long document, be it a book or an article or even a letter and you use footnotes, its very handy for them to be recalibrated every time that you use or insert a footnote. This recalibration or automatic renumbering is a godsend I've found, and is one of the strengths of org-mode, especially when you're memory is becoming increasingly problematic and you keep forgetting what you want to say. And that's why I'm trying to get repeat text in org-modes dynamic footnotes. In every experiment that I've made using [fn:0001] as my reference point it has failed, seemingly due to an inability to graft latex commands into an org-mode dynamic footnote, which is then exported and published as an latexed PDF. To help in potentially debugging or getting this going I'm also including my very minimalist totally nonsensical MWE - =2D-8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+STARTUP: fnadjust #+LaTeX_class: memoir * Introduction # \minitoc You can also find information about your rights and choices, including refu= sing treatment, setting down your wishes for your future treatment, and _how_ [fn:1] to give someon= e the legal right to make decisions for you if you are no longer capable. # \footnote{how is a banana\label{fn:repeat}} [fn:1] how is a banana\label{1:how is a banana} # [fn:1] \footnote{how is a banana\label{fn:repeat}} ** What is palliative care?
