Hi,

Thanks for this. You have

  [fn:1] footdef1[fn:2]

  [fn:2] footdef2

What do you expect to see in ODT? Presumably not a footnote in a
footnote, since LibreOffice doesn't allow you to place one.

An ODT cross-reference to the footnote? That makes sense, but should
that be achieved by footnoting inside a footnote, or is the appropriate
thing to do to use a dedicated target and link?

  [fn:1] footdef1, see also [[thatotherfootnote]].

  [fn:2] <<thatotherfootnote>>footdef2

That seems to works nicely e.g. in HTML export.

But I get an error message when I try it in ODT export (OpenDocument
export failed: number-or-marker-p, nil -- can't be more detailed at the
moment because my debugger doesn't seem to work correctly).

So either way, there seems to be something that needs fixing.

Yours,
Christian
