I didn't grasp the workings of the footnote functionality in ox so excuse my ignorance. Would it not be possible to allow different "counters"? (Like LaTeX). So that for org-element-document-properties (at least author and title), one would use the ox footnote functionality with an auxiliary counter. On the backend-side LaTeX would work normally but use \thanks. In html fancy entities would be used instead of arabic numbers. Same in ox-ascii. >> Footnotes in EXPORT_TITLE properties would be weird. I don't know if you >> can have that. You tell me. > > This is not possible. But then, it is asymmetric if we allow footnotes > in TITLE. OK with me. How about inline footnotes in properties? :export_title: My Title[fn::X helped a lot]. —Rasmus -- Don't panic!!!
