I've been playing with org-footnote-assistance, and this is again just
another opinion, but I'm also preferring the indirect buffer. It just
puts things in better perspective.

I'd prefer to integrate things with `org-edit-special', if possible.
Possibly extending `org-edit-special' functionality.

The pros for `org-edit-special' are that we can escape certain edge
cases. In particular, there is a known edge case when footnote
definition contains an src block with 2+ blank lines. The blank lines
are treated as the end of the footnote definition and src block is not
recognized. Also, `org-edit-footnote-reference' takes care about
removing common indentation.

I've tried to use org-edit-special with a src block with 2+ blank lines and the second #+end_src is not seen as part of the footnote.
Is this the edge problem you were addressing? I get the same result with the indirect buffer.

I'll try to implement at least footnote previewing functionalities with eldoc!

Yup, it is one of the edge problems that org-edit-special could (though
currently does not) address. Indirect buffer cannot easily address such
problems.

Hi,

I was busy with work and had less time to focus on this, sorry!
Well, sorry for the noob question but how do you suggest I fork the org.el file to start tinkering with it?
I would pass through the Org repository on Savannah, as specified here: https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html <https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html>.
What do you suggest for testing the changes? Should I then send a diff?

I guess I can manage to have the code I already produced working in org.el. In what section of it should the eldoc package be required?

Thank you so much.

No problem. Just wanted to make sure that this thread did not fall
through the cracks.

You can just use git version of Org:
https://orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html

Then, you can edit the files directly there.

> What do you suggest for testing the changes? Should I then send a diff?

Depends on your familiarity with git.
The easiest for us would be attaching a patch, but you can also send a
diff, if it is easier for you.
We have all the details in
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#org0d9c39b

You can also use Magit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ywEgcbaiys).

> I guess I can manage to have the code I already produced working in org.el. In what section of it should the eldoc package be required?

The eldoc setup should be somewhere inside

  (define-derived-mode org-mode outline-mode "Org"

It has been two months since the last message here.
If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to ask me anything.

Closing due to inactivity.
Canceled.

"Closing" does not mean that this feature will not be accepted. I am
just removing it from the list of tracked tasks that require maintainer
attention.
