Re: Howto generate LaTeX footnotes using \footnote{}

[Robert Hennig <robert.hennig@freylax.de>]

Dear Eric,

thank you for your sample!
Indeed the way you use the footnotes works fine.
I recognized that the problem Is bound to footnotes insiside an
LaTeX Environment, like this:

-----------------------
#+OPTIONS: f:t
* footnote test
This Footnote [fn:1: the first  one] works fine.
\begin{quote}
But the second on [fn:2: inside a Latex Environment] does not
produce the desired behaviour.
\end{quote}
--------------------------
which results in:
...
This Footnote \footnote{the first  one } works fine.
\begin{quote}
But the second on [2] does not
produce the desired behaviour.
\end{quote}

$^{2}$ inside a Latex Environment
...
-------------------------

which is not the intended behaviour.

Best Regards,
Robert
