org-export-with-broken-links doesn't apply to footnotes

[Mark Edgington]

The org-export-with-broken-links option was introduced in order to
allow exports to proceed when a link isn't able to be resolved.
Sometimes this happens when trying to export a narrowed region of a
buffer.

I have noticed, however, that even if I have (setq
org-export-with-broken-links 't), I am still unable to export a
narrowed buffer that contains a footnote reference ("Definition not
found for footnote...").  Is this behavior intentional?  If so, is
there a way to get the same effect as org-export-with-broken-links for
footnotes?

Regards,

Mark

No, it isn't. However I could only reproduce it with empty footnote
definitions.

In any case, this is now fixed. Thank you.

I am providing a minimal example that still exhibits the problem for me (on
the latest git rev):

----------- BEGIN EXAMPLE -----------
* Heading 1                   :ignore:
** Heading 2                  :export:
*** Heading 3                 :ignore:
Here's a footnote[fn:20].

* Footnotes                   :export:
[fn:20] Footnote content.
----------- END EXAMPLE -----------

If you narrow the buffer to Heading 2, and try to export, it fails.

Among other things, I have the following in my .emacsd file:

    (require 'ox-extra)
    (ox-extras-activate '(ignore-headlines))

Fixed (hopefully). Thank you.
