By default, adding a footnote puts it at the bottom of the document. Thi= s is=20 because of org-footnote-define-inline: 'Non-nil means define footnotes inline, at reference location. When nil,=20 footnotes will be defined in a special section near the end of the docume= nt.=20 When t, the [fn:label:definition] notation will be used to define the foo= tnote=20 at the reference position." However, there are three (not two) possible options available in STARTUP=20 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 par= agraph=20 or section, where they are nearby and easy to see. I'd like to make this the default in all Org files by setting=20 org-footnote-define-inline, but it seems I can't---all I can definte that= way=20 are the fninline and fnnoinline options. Am I correct? Is there some wa= y=20 around this, or perhaps a (setq org-footnote-define-inline 'fnlocal) sett= ing=20 could be added?
