footnote definitions in their own section. Here's a line in my .org file:

1. Re-read Stephenson's "Metaphysics in the Royal Society 1715-2010" [fn::
Stephenson: Leibnitz], especially for the description of "monads."

Now what do I do? The expansion/definition of this placeholder is

"Some Remarks"; "Essays and Other Writings"; Stephenson, Neal;
HarperCollins Publishers; 978-0-06-202443-5; 2012; pp 38-57.

Where does this expansion go? Do I do M->, hit the Enter a few times and
type it in? But then how does the placeholder above know to link to it? And
the ‘org-footnote-define-inline’ etc. look like elisp variable names. Do I
set them in my .emacs? That doesn't seem quite right since I might be
juggling many different .org files, each with a different footnote style.

You can place footnote definitions manually wherever you choose.
