Subject: [RFC] Removal of [1]-like footnotes
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2015 11:03:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87oadp9yu9.fsf@nicolasgoaziou.fr> (raw)
Hello,
As discussed previously, I pushed changes about footnotes in a dedicated
branch, "wip-no-plain-fn", for testing.
In a nutshell, in this branch, Org no longer recognizes [1]-like
constructs as valid footnotes, an no longer spend time matching them.
As a consequence, "fn:" can now be unambiguously removed from label and
become part of the syntax. Thus, [fn:1] is labelled "1" and [fn:label]
is labelled "label".
In the process, I had to rewrite `org-footnote-normalize', which used to
turn every footnote in a document into [1]-like footnotes. Now, it turns
them into [fn:1] footnotes.
However, this function also contained a part dealing with non-Org
buffers, e.g. just before sending an email, this function could turn Org
footnotes into footnote.el-compatible footnotes. This is no longer
present currently in the branch.
I don't really mind adding it back, but it ought to be a separate
function, with a different design. It is not really possible to treat
non-Org buffers as Org ones (cf. `orgstruct-mode' problems). However,
before spending time on it, I'd like to know if there is any incentive
to use it over, e.g. `footnote-mode' right from the start?
Feedback welcome.
Regards,
