When I exported the document (to LaTeX and HTML), I was puzzled to find that one of the sections was not exported at all... After investigating the problem for a while, I realized that if a section is named "Footnotes" the default behavior of Org is to ignore it silently. My solution was to set `org-footnote-section' to nil. I think it would help Org users if: 1. Org export (to LaTeX, HTML, etc.) emits an error or a prominent warning when it ignores an entire section like this. 2. The manual would warn the user about this behavior with a prominent warning. Thanks for maintaining Org-mode. I'm finding it quite convenient for a variety of tasks. Arni
