[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3274 bytes --]

It is impossible to have closing brackets in a footnote, because they
are treated as the closing bracket for the foot note.  Example...

* A heading
This is a broken footnote.[fn:: Some book at [42-24].]

This will export to (as ASCII, for example)...

=================
1 A heading


1 A heading
~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a broken footnote.[1].]

This will export to (as ASCII, for example)...

[1] Some book at [42-24

This is how I am required to cite books for my academic essays, so this
is a pretty serious bug for me (and no doubt other students, as well).

Hi Aidan,

unfortunately this is difficult to fix in a good way.
I do want to go back to footnotes, because I think there are many  
things that do not yet work satisfactorily.  And then I also hope to  
address the issue you raised.  For the time being, unfortunately, I do  
not have a solution for you.

Should be a way to change footnote-style, so it doesn't use brackets.

This is a two-part problem.

1. Right square bracket in inline footnote prematurely terminates the
    footnote.

    IMO this is not a bug, it's an inherent and quite reasonable
    limitation on the inline footnote format, and is easily solved by
    falling back on the block footnote syntax.

    #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
    ** A heading
    This is a broken footnote.[fn:somebook]

    [fn:somebook] Some book at [42-24].
    #+END_EXAMPLE

2. A number in square brackets is interpreted as a footnote marker
    (even inside another footnote).

    In ASCII export, as in Aidan's example, this doesn't matter because
    footnote markers are exported in ... square brackets. But in other
    export formats it's an occasional pain.

    Some workarounds for this problem, involving =fn:nil= or invisible
    zero-space characters, were recently posted on the list:
    http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/28191


Cheers,
Christian

I have a workaround. 
If the author uses the a special code for [ and ], e.g.
#91; and #93; then the note is exported correctly.
--------------------------------------------------------
** example
This is not anymore a broken footnote.[fn:: Some book at #91; 42-24 #93;.]

Exports to:
This is not anymore broken footnote.[1]
[1] Some book at #91; 42-24 #93;.
----------------------------------------------------------

But then the file have to be post-processed to substitute #91; and #93;

Place these lines in .emacs, or evaluate them (goto the last ") " and hit C-x C-e) 
for the current session :
----------------------------------------------------------------------
(add-hook 'org-export-html-final-hook  'gio/replace-square-brackets)
(add-hook 'org-export-ascii-final-hook 'gio/replace-square-brackets)

(defun gio/replace-square-brackets ()
"Replace #91; with [ and #93; with ] "
(interactive)
(setq a "#91;")  ; use "\[" for LaTeX export
(setq a1  "[") 
(setq b "#93;")  ; use "\]" for LaTeX export
(setq b1  "]")
(ignore-errors (goto-char 1) (setq p (point)) 
(while (< p (point-max)) 
(re-search-forward a nil nil) (replace-match a1)  (setq p (point)) )  )
;;
(ignore-errors (goto-char 1) (setq p (point)) 
(while (< p (point-max)) 
(re-search-forward b nil nil) (replace-match b1)  (setq p (point)) )  )
(save-buffer) ) 
----------------------------------------------------------
Tested for  HTML, ASCII.

For the LaTeX export  the line:
      This is not anymore a broken footnote.[fn:: Some book at #91;
      42-24#93;.]
exports to:

      This is not anymore a broken footnote.\footnote{Some book at \[
      42-24 \]. } 


So the LaTeX seems to convert directly the #9?; character.

Not tested for docbook.

Giovanni,

Thanks for that.  I have the same problem, since I put citations in my
footnotes in the format \cite[50]{Ridolfi_2011_Autobiography}.  This is
great.  It's also a nice model for a few other petty troubles I want to
postprocess away.

Scot

I also have problems with footnotes. Jan Boecker kindly devised a
work-around using non-printing spaces which is OK, but what I would like
is:

Disable footnotes like [2010], but keep footnotes like [fn:2010]

The reason is that I write legal texts that have references to case law
that look like: Marreco v Richardson [1908] 2 KB 584. The dates in
square brackets are an essential part of the reference.

f:nil in the Options seems to disable all footnotes rather than just
the [2010] type. The documentation is slightly misleading on this.
Under "Export options" it says:

f:	turn on/off footnotes like this[1].

I seem to be living more and more in org-mode. Thanks for such great
software!

Thanks!  That works fine.  I suppose I should point out that I only used =
an
ASCII export for the example situation, but I ran into this problem expor=
ting
to HTML.

Perhaps it would be best to determine for what type of writing the current way
Org handles footnotes is lacking.  Is it just academic writing in general, of
mostly only certain fields?  Both Alan and I have needed to use a workaround
for legal writing (I'm a first-year student; don't know about Alan).  What
have other people had trouble footnoting/citing in Org?

Well I use biblatex to produce the chicago citations, used pretty widely in
the humanities in N. America, and the LaTeX \cite{} commands under that
setup take their optional arguments in square brackets.  The most frequent
optional argument is a page number for the citation, but I also use them for
prefixes to the citation, e.g. a footnote which reads "See also Becker, 59"
would be generated like this \autocite[59][See also](Becker2010).

Very low priority as far as I am concerned. Be nice, but it is hardly a deal
breaker.

One possibility for difficult cases such as these might be extensible
syntax (which is designed for parsing risk).  The idea would be to
allow, for footnotes, an alternate syntax using extensible syntax.
Then it could handle anything.  Also, it would not be necessary to
hack on the footnote code quite that hard.  With the $[ syntax, things
might be a little easier and the parsing code potentially factored in
a decent way.

Dunno if this is the easiest first use for ES, but it might be worth
considering.
