Subject: How to make footnotes be fnlocal by default?
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2015 18:40:06 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.02.1506151831430.5852@shell.miskatonic.org> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: TEXT/PLAIN, Size: 1377 bytes --]

I'm writing something with a bunch of footnotes and instead of doing them by hand I'm using C-c C-x f, which in the usual Emacs/Org way strikes me as a more difficult at first but then turns into magic.

By default, adding a footnote puts it at the bottom of the document.  This is 
because of org-footnote-define-inline:

'Non-nil means define footnotes inline, at reference location. When nil, 
footnotes will be defined in a special section near the end of the document. 
When t, the [fn:label:definition] notation will be used to define the footnote 
at the reference position."

However, there are three (not two) possible options available in STARTUP 
options:

> fninline    define footnotes inline
> fnnoinline  define footnotes in separate section
> fnlocal     define footnotes near first reference, but not inline

I found I like fnlocal, which puts the footnotes at the bottom of the paragraph 
or section, where they are nearby and easy to see.

I'd like to make this the default in all Org files by setting 
org-footnote-define-inline, but it seems I can't---all I can definte that way 
are the fninline and fnnoinline options.  Am I correct?  Is there some way 
around this, or perhaps a (setq org-footnote-define-inline 'fnlocal) setting 
could be added?
