Latex Export Difficulties

Latex Export Difficulties

[Samuel Schaumburg]

Hello,

I am facing difficulties during org-Latex Export

When I write outlines to scientific Texts I often have headlines, that
are followed by a footnote, providing easy reference to the Text I am
currently studying.

Example:


* Some Headline[fn:2]


When I want to export my notes for printing, the Texbuffer has something
like this:

\section{Some Headline\footnote{S. 45}}

Here comes the trouble: Auctex (with Texlive installed) normally does
not compile this and throws a bunch of errors at me.

What I learned from my research is that the line has to look like this,
so that I can compile:

\section{Some Headline \protect\footnote{S. 45}}

This case is quite typicall for me and leads to often manually reworking
the tex buffer for quite a while, which is not very convenient.

Is there any way I can set up the org latex export to do this
automatically. Would greatly help my workflow. I am quite a newbie to
emacs-lisp, so I cannot think of how to do this. Maybe someone can help
me here

Thanks in advance
Samuel

Not an org solution per se but you could redefine \footnote to do what
you want.  The example below/attached seems to work.  I have no idea if
it breaks the usage of footnote in other places, mind you.

* Testing redefinition of footnote
#+latex: \let\origfootnote\footnote
#+latex: \renewcommand{\footnote}{\protect\origfootnote}
** Subheading [fn:1: Which has a very interesting footnote]
This is some really boring text because all the interesting stuff is in the footnote.

Try to add a TOC to this document.  It's probably not what you want. 

Another LaTeX hack would be to do something like:

   \def\myhead{My heading}
   \section[\myhead]{\myhead\footnote{My foot}}

This is such an awkward construct that it should probably just
relegated to a filter.

Indeed.  But some would argue that footnotes in headings is not what you
want in the first place... ;-)

This is what the footmisc package is for. So use

#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage[stable]{footmisc}

or add it to your default packages.

If you really want this, have a look at
`org-export-filter-footnote-reference-functions'.
