[O] HTML Export - Footnotes inconcistency
Hello, I came across this problem today (or maybe it is intended but I couldn't find any explanation in the docs). There is an inconsistency on how inline/anonymous and named footnotes are exported in HTML. For example, with the following source: --8<---cut here---start->8--- #+TITLE: Testing footnotes #+LANGUAGE: en Testing[fn::test1] footnotes[fn:2] [fn:2] test2 --8<---cut here---end--->8--- Exports to this : --8<---cut here---start->8--- Footnotes: 1 test1 2 test2 --8<---cut here---end--->8--- We can see here that the named footnote creates a paragraph of the same class as the parent container "footpara" whereas the inlined one doesn't create this. If this is intended, why? If not, which is the intended one? Reagards. -- Matthias Paulmier

This explains why you cannot have blank lines within an inline footnote. OTOH, a footnote definition can contain multiple paragraphs. I don't know if that's a good thing, but these differences at the Org level are translated into the HTML output. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou

Does it really matter for them if I wrote my footnote inline or not? Thanks for your answer. -- Matthias Paulmier
