Hi Lawrence,

You can have footnotes be inserted automatically:
- in their own section (by default at the bottom of the document, though =A0 you can move it anywhere)
- at the end of the current section, or
- inline with the text

For the first behavior, set the variable =91org-footnote-define-inline=92 t= o
nil. =A0For the second, set both =91org-footnote-define-inline=92 and
=91org-footnote-section=92 to nil. =A0And for the third, set
=91org-footnote-define-inline=92 to something other than nil.

Let's say I want the "default" behavior= , i.e. the expansion of the footnote definitions in their own section. Here= 's a line in my .org file:

You can place footnote definitions manually wherever you choose.

You can use the line
#+INCLUDE: "file.org= "
to include one org file inside another for export purposes. =A0I don=92t know off the top of my head whether this works to import footnote
definitions from a separate file, though I don=92t see a reason why it
shouldn=92t. =A0Try it and see! =A0(It almost certainly won=92t allow footn= otes
in one file to be links to locations in another.)
