If the OP was using the footnotes for references, the standard practice is to use "op cit" etc. on a new footnote to indicate that the reference has been cited earlier. The LaTeX autocite system will do this automatically in fact. -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 25.0.90.1, Org release_8.3.3-535-g7213aa

Generally agree with Eric. The only thing missing, theoretically, is the ability to hyperjump to the footnote, but the reader can scan the bottom of the pages to match up the number themselves... Here's some information that might help do this if you feel you must: - http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/35043/reference-different-places-to-the-same-footnote I think the second answer is interesting, starting out with: #+begin_quote Have you ever seen that in a book? Probably not. Because: Two footnotemarks numbered with e.g. an "8" raise the question whether it is a typo. #+end_quote I rather like the suggestion to switch to endnotes instead if you want to do this often, as that's how I'm used to seeing multiple references cited. That said, my recollection is generally that the number isn't used over and over, but something like the title or author. So the first time you may quote something with the endnote reference included, but subsequently you'd just say "Kimble et al. also found that... (Kimble, 2016)" and this would be sufficient to track down the right reference. I've seen non-chronological endnotes as well, arranged by author's last name/year to simplify finding a reference. Anyway, hope that helps find something that works with your use case! John > > -- > : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 25.0.91.1, Org release_8.3.4-655-g9fb077 >

What would you expect otherwise? In other words, this is the correct behaviour. If you want the footnote to appear again at the bottom of the page, this is a new footnote that just happens to have the same content... so create the new footnote yourself. -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 25.0.91.1, Org release_8.3.4-655-g9fb077
[O] footnotes and exported latex
When exporting an org file to latex the first instance of a footnote shows as [fn:1] in the org-file, and its numbered footnote reference in the latexed pdf. However, if I refer to that footnote later in the org-file, then its shown as [fn:1] again, but, in the latexed pdf it just shows as a superscript 1 without any reference to the fact that its actually a footnote again. How can it be shown as a footnote in the second, and possibly more places, in the latexed pdf please? Is the only solution to have its reference, as a \gls{family} just highlight its referenced word without any superscript footnote reference?
