Problem with footnote in html export

Problem with footnote in html export

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha all,

With the following org file, exporting the subtree to html gives this:

,--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| org-html-footnote-reference: Format specifier doesn't match argument type
`--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the org file.  To reproduce, move to `* Export subtree to html'
then C-c C-e C-s h H:

-----------

#+OPTIONS: html-link-use-abs-url:nil html-postamble:auto
#+OPTIONS: html-preamble:t html-scripts:t html-style:t
#+OPTIONS: html5-fancy:nil tex:t
#+HTML_DOCTYPE: xhtml-strict
#+HTML_CONTAINER: div
#+HTML_LINK_HOME:
#+HTML_LINK_UP:
#+HTML_HEAD:

This is not related to ox-html, but

You are using a footnote in a keyword, which is not supported by ox.el.
I don't think it should be either, because this data is too "volatile"
(it may or may not be present in the output, possibly messing with
footnote order, etc.).
