Hi Nicolas,

That works quite well; but as I'm trying to convert a whole book I also
have lots of "\cite[NUMBER]{my_ref}" commands from TeX; and these all
give false positives with the regex above. Actually I couldn't figure
out what a regex would have to look like that excludes occurences of the
mentioned expression if they are preceded by "cite".

Yes, I posted the problem on the pandoc mailing list and Albert
Krewinkel kindly fixed it immediately and pushed the code to the dev
version of pandoc:

https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/commit/d27188ad309feb9a76f6dc3d816ad78722078fe1

I checked out the haskell source, compiled it and it works perfectly
now! The org writer produces the correct footnote format.

Gerald.
