Hi guys

My .org document contains the following sentence.

In R, procedures in the =survey= library were
used\footnote{Available at: http://faculty.washington.edu/tlumley/survey/}.

This is exported to:

In R, procedures in the \texttt{survey} library were
used\footnote{Available at: [[http://faculty.washington.edu/tlumley/survey/]
[http://faculty.washington.edu/tlumley/survey/]]}.

As you can see, the URL gets exported as an [[org link]], meaningless 
outside org.

The same thing happens with \footnote{Available at: \url{...}}

Do I have things configured wrong, or is this a bug?

thanks
Paul

Neither, I think. You can quote the URL like this:


--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
In R, procedures in the =survey= library were
used\footnote{Available at:
#+BEGIN_LaTeX
http://faculty.washington.edu/tlumley/survey/
#+END_LaTeX
}.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

although  it *is* better to use the \url macro, so that hyperref will do its thing:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
In R, procedures in the =survey= library were
used\footnote{Available at:
#+BEGIN_LaTeX
\url{http://faculty.washington.edu/tlumley/survey/}
#+END_LaTeX
}.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But why not let org handle the footnote for you?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
In R, procedures in the =survey= library were
used[fn:1].


* Footnotes

[fn:1] Available at: http://faculty.washington.edu/tlumley/survey/
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This has the advantage that it works when exported to HTML as well.
Section 2.10, "Footnotes", of the manual describes how to enter/use
footnotes like this.

HTH,
Nick

Thanks, I will look into it. I was aware of org footnotes but for some reason
didn't think of using them here.
