Simple in-buffer links?

Simple in-buffer links?

[Lawrence Bottorff]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 531 bytes --]

I'm a beginner and I can't figure out how to build a simple link. All I
want to do is have numbered footnotes throughout my org file that, when
clicked, jump down to that footnote. Eg:

 -- This is in my org file and I'm describing Emacs fill (1). You can also
do auto-fill (2)

.
.
.



(1) A fill is text formatting to look like a block.
(2) Auto-fill sets fill for the whole life of the buffer.

This is all I want to do. I might also like these footnote elaborations at
the bottom to be in another location (another file).

Like[fn:1] or [fn::this].  Try org-footnote-action (typically C-c C-f f)
to do it.  Go back and forward with C-c C-c.

See also the manual (info "(org) Footnotes")

Hope it helps,

Yes, Rasmus that will work. Also, I'd like to be able to do this basic
thing from html:

<a *name*="top"></a>
.
.
.

<a href="*#*top">link to top</a>

I know the reference manual is trying to tell me how, but I'm just not
getting it.

Hi Lawrence, 

Welcome to org-mode! I think what you're looking for is footnote funcationality[1]. To get started, just use `C-c C-x f' in your orgmode document. Then use it again to go back to where you were. There's more you can do and the page I've cited will get you started. 

HTH,
