*** Built-in footnote support
Org-mode now supports the creation of footnotes. In contrast to the
`footnote.el' package, Org-mode's footnotes are designed for work on a
larger document, not only for one-off documents like emails. The basic
syntax is similar to the one used by `footnote.el', i.e. a footnote is
defined in a paragraph that is started by a footnote marker in square
brackets in column 0. The footnote reference is simply the marker in
square brackets inside text. For example:
#+begin_src org
The Org homepage[1] now looks a lot better than it used to.
...
[1] The link is: http://orgmode.org
#+end_src
Org-mode extends the number-based syntax to _named_ footnotes and
optional inline definition. Using numbers as markers is supported for
backward compatibility. Here are the valid references:
- [1] :: A numeric footnote marker.
- [fn:name] :: A named footnote reference, where `name' is a
unique label word.
- [fn:: This is the inline definition of this footnote] ::
A LaTeX-like anonymous footnote where the definition is given
directly at the reference point.
- [fn:name: a definition] ::
An inline definition of a footnote, which also specifies a name
for the note. Since Org allows multiple references to the same
note, you can then use use `[fn:name]' to create additional
references.
The following command handles footnotes:
- C-c C-x f ::
The footnote action command. When the cursor is on a footnote
reference, jump to the definition. When it is at a definition,
jump to the reference. Otherwise, create a new footnote.
Depending on the variable `org-footnote-define-inline' (with
associated #+STARTUP options fninline and nofninline), the
definitions will be placed locally, or into the nearest outline
section with the heading `Footnotes'. If no such section is found
after the reference point, one will be created at the end of the
file.
When this command is called with a prefix argument, a menu of
additional options is offered:
- s :: Sort the footnote definitions by reference sequence.
During editing, Org makes no effort to sort
footnote definitions into a particular sequence.
If you want them sorted, use this command.
- n :: Normalize the footnotes by collecting all
definitions (including inline definitions) into a
special section, and then numbering them in
sequence. The references will then also be
numbers. This is meant to be the final step before
finishing a document (e.g. sending off an email).
The exporters do this automatically, and so could
something like `message-send-hook'.
- d :: Delete the footnote at point, and all references to it.
- C-c C-c ::
If the cursor is on a footnote reference, jump to the definition.
If it is a the definition, jump back to the reference. When
called with a prefix argument at either location, offer the
same menu as `C-u C-c C-x f'.
Org-mode's footnote support is designed so that it should also
work in buffers that are not in Org-mode, for example in email
messages. Just bind =org-footnote-action= to a global key like
=C-c f=.

Numbers in square brackets are treated as footnote markers, and lines
starting with such a marker are interpreted as the footnote itself. You can
use the Emacs package @file{footnote.el} to create footnotes@footnote{The
@file{footnote} package uses @kbd{C-c !} to invoke its commands. This
binding conflicts with the Org mode command for inserting inactive time
stamps. You could use the variable @code{footnote-prefix} to switch
footnotes commands to another key. Or, if you are too used to this binding,
you could use @code{org-replace-disputed-keys} and @code{org-disputed-keys}
to change the settings in Org.}. For example:
Footnotes defined in the way descriped in @ref{Footnotes} will be exported by
all backends. Org does allow multiple references to the same note, and
different backends support this to varying degree.
