[...] And then we will have that one feature request to cross reference a previous footnote! :-) In the above case, how would a person go about asking someone to refer to an earlier footnote? > * Usage 2, keyword named footnotes > > Karate or karate-do is a martial art developed in the Ryukyu Islands > from indigenous fighting methods and Chinese kenpō[fn:kenpo].

And all future references go as 'see [fn:kenpo] to understand the meaning'. Presumably when exported, all these keywords stuff disappears and are replaced by standard LaTeX style footnote numbers, right? [...] sivaram --
