I tried this patch but for some reason it does not work. This patch does not work for me, either, but thanks for trying! I did not look further, surely Nicolas has something that works. I agree footnotes should be turned off by default for the .ics export. I also tried the following modifications in the definition of the icalendar backend, without much effect: 1) Adding (footnote-definition . ignore) and (footnote-reference . ignore) to the :translate-alist 2) Adding (:filter-footnote-definition . ignore) and (:filter-footnote-reference . ignore) to the :filters-alist Both of these looked like they might work based on the org-export-define-backend documentation, but the footnotes still show up in the output. [...further tinkering...] It looks like the problem is this: the icalendar backend does not specify a transcoder for the inner-template element. Thus it falls back to the org-ascii-inner-template transcoder, which appends footnotes to the end of the exported content. Thus, one solution is to define an org-icalendar-inner-template transcoder which does nothing to modify the content (but overrides the fallback); that is the solution I've used in the attached patch.

[O] Bug: Footnotes break iCalendar export [8.0.1 (release_8.0.1 @ /home/rwl/src/org-mode/lisp/)]
Hi Org maintainers, I've been trying to get iCalendar export working with my agenda files again since upgrading to 8.0, and I've found that footnotes break the agenda export to .ics. The problem is that a plain text version of the footnotes in the file ends up in the output floating loose---not wrapped by VEVENT tags or any other tags---resulting in an unparseable .ics file (at least according to Google Calendar). Here's a sample Org file to illustrate: * Entry 1 This entry has some text with an inline footnote[fn:: which isn't very interesting] * Entry 2 This entry has some text with an external footnote[fn:1] * Appointment with Someone 2013-04-20 Sat 15:00 * Footnotes [fn:1] which still isn't very interesting And here's the output I get when I export this (via C-c a a C-x C-w /tmp/test.ics): BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 X-WR-CALNAME:OrgMode PRODID:-//Richard Lawrence//Emacs with Org mode//EN X-WR-TIMEZONE:America/Los_Angeles X-WR-CALDESC: CALSCALE:GREGORIAN BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130420T211153Z UID:TS1-5b8f14ac-d380-437f-88dd-4ed0a4ebacb9 DTSTART:20130420T15 DTEND:20130420T17 SUMMARY:Appointment with Someone DESCRIPTION:2013-04-20 Sat 15:00 CATEGORIES:test END:VEVENT Footnotes ─ [1] which isn't very interesting [2] which still isn't very interesting END:VCALENDAR Note that I still seem to get the behavior when I restrict the export to headlines matching certain tags. In that case, even footnotes from entries which should not be exported end up in the output, which seems pretty strange. It doesn't make much sense to me to have footnotes when exporting to a calendar format, so is there any way to suppress exporting footnotes in this case? Thanks!
