Aloha Vaidheeswaran,
Thanks very much for the detailed response and the link to the book.
That's an interesting example I won't soon forget. The forward
reference in the footnote is unusual. In this case it appears to be
standing in for the lack of an index entry for either "trichiliocosm" or
"chiliocosm."
It's eye opening to see Org mode at work so deep in the humanities.
All the best,
Tom
