Re: Beginner footnotes question

Hi Lawrence,

You can have footnotes be inserted automatically:
- in their own section (by default at the bottom of the document, though
  you can move it anywhere)
- at the end of the current section, or
- inline with the text

For the first behavior, set the variable ‘org-footnote-define-inline’ to
nil.  For the second, set both ‘org-footnote-define-inline’ and
‘org-footnote-section’ to nil.  And for the third, set
‘org-footnote-define-inline’ to something other than nil.

You can place footnote definitions manually wherever you choose.

You can use the line
#+INCLUDE: "file.org"
to include one org file inside another for export purposes.  I don’t
know off the top of my head whether this works to import footnote
definitions from a separate file, though I don’t see a reason why it
shouldn’t.  Try it and see!  (It almost certainly won’t allow footnotes
in one file to be links to locations in another.)
