it says that footnotes[fn:1]

[fn:1] look like this


but actually[1]

[1] works as well and looks even better.

So why this option is not documented?

I= would think that's so because canonically Org mode using [fn:1] style.= It looks like you are manually typing the footnote refs and definitions.

Try using C-c C-x f binding.. you will see that Org= inserts the footnotes in the documented style.
