Thanks for the explanation. I aplogize if I'm missing something, but I
can't seem to get the bind line to work. I've placed the following line
at the top of an org file:
,----
| #+BIND: org-footnote-section "References"
`----
...and yet after killing, reloading, and refreshing the buffer, the
footnotes still appear in the section in which they are entered, in
keeping with my global org-footnote-section setting (nil).
Out of curiosity, I've also tried the following line to no avail:
,----
| #+BIND: org-footnote-section t
`----
I've tried setting org-export-allow-BIND and org-export-allow-BIND-local
to t, but the same results occur.
On the other hand, when I use local variables, as below, the footnotes
appear under the headline "References".
>> ,----
>> | * COMMENT Local Variables
>> | # Local Variables:
>> | # org-footnote-section: "References"
>> | # End:
>> `----
Do I have the correct syntax for #+bind? Is there another variable that
activates "bind" syntax? Or does it perhaps work only for certain
variables?
Thanks! I'll be glad to write an FAQ about this, seeing as I'm quickly
turning it into a frequently asked question. :)
