Thanks for the explanation. I aplogize if I'm missing something, but I can't seem to get the bind line to work. I've placed the following line at the top of an org file: ,---- | #+BIND: org-footnote-section "References" `---- ...and yet after killing, reloading, and refreshing the buffer, the footnotes still appear in the section in which they are entered, in keeping with my global org-footnote-section setting (nil). Out of curiosity, I've also tried the following line to no avail: ,---- | #+BIND: org-footnote-section t `---- I've tried setting org-export-allow-BIND and org-export-allow-BIND-local to t, but the same results occur. On the other hand, when I use local variables, as below, the footnotes appear under the headline "References". >> ,---- >> | * COMMENT Local Variables >> | # Local Variables: >> | # org-footnote-section: "References" >> | # End: >> `---- Do I have the correct syntax for #+bind? Is there another variable that activates "bind" syntax? Or does it perhaps work only for certain variables? Thanks! I'll be glad to write an FAQ about this, seeing as I'm quickly turning it into a frequently asked question. :) - Matt _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
