Hi, Consider the following example
#+TITLE: [ox-latex, bug] footnotes in titles[fn:1] #+AUTHOR: Rasmus[fn:2] [fn:1] I'd like to thank Nicolas for considering this bug [fn:2] spammer of the org mailing list The desired ox-latex output is something like: \author{Rasmus\thanks{spammer of the org mailing list}} \title{[ox-latex, bug] footnotes in titles% \thanks{I'd like to thank Nicolas for considering this bug}} But actual output is something like: \author{Rasmus\footnotemark[nil]{}} \date{\today} \title{[ox-latex, bug] footnotes in titles\footnotemark[nil]{}} It's not too bad: ox-html breaks on this document. I guess it's a limitation of org-element, since (org-element-map (org-element-parse-buffer) 'footnote-reference (lambda (fn) (org-element-property :label fn))) => ("fn:2") Footnote in titles are often used for acknowledgments. Footnote for authors are sometimes for associations. Is the current treatment the desired treatment? Thanks, Rasmus -- Hooray!
