Re: Re: Footnotes in headings results in strange entries in the table of contens of the latex -> pdf export

Hi Gerald,

the LaTeX exporter does indeed have some problems with footnotes in  
headlines.

I have now fixed it so that the footnote will be preceded by \protect,  
which already makes things nicer.  However, to use the format you  
propose (which is good LaTeX), Org would have to know which macros  
exactly work like that.  For example, headlines from Org-mode  
sometimes get transformed into \item blocks, where an optional  
argument would have completely different effects.

A way out for you would be to add a function to `org-export-latex- 
final-hook' which would go through, find and fix the corresponding  
headlines.

If you make a good solutions, please share it - I might want to use it  
in Org after all.
