Org mode supports the creation of footnotes. In contrast to the
@file{footnote.el} package, Org mode's footnotes are designed for work on
a larger document, not only for one-off documents like emails.
Org mode supports the creation of footnotes.
A footnote is started by a footnote marker in square brackets in column 0, no
indentation allowed. It ends at the next footnote definition, headline, or
after two consecutive empty lines. The footnote reference is simply the
marker in square brackets, inside text. For example:

** Incompatible changes
*** Footnotes
**** [1]-like constructs are not valid footnotes
Using =[1]= as a footnote was already discouraged in the manual, since
it introduced too many false-positives in many Org documents. These
constructs are now unsupported.
If you used =[N]= in some of your documents, consider turning them
into =[fn:N]=.
**** /Org Footnote/ library doesn't handle non-Org buffers
Commands for footnotes in an Org document no longer try to do
something in non-Org ones. If you need to have footnotes there,
consider using =footnote.el= library, shipped with Emacs.
In particular, ~org-footnote-tag-for-non-org-mode-files~ no longer
exists.
** New features
*** New org-protocol key=value syntax
