## Using some footnotes

- normal footnote reference 1 2 3 (footnote names can be anything in the format `[\w-]`)
- further references to the same footnote should not 1 render duplicates in the footnote list
- inline footnotes are also supported via 4.
- anonymous inline footnotes are also supported via 5.
- Footnote definitions are not printed where they appear. Rather, they are gathered and exported at the end of the document in the footnote section. 6
- footnotes that reference a non-existant definition are rendered but log a warning 7

## Footnotes

Please note that the footnotes section is not automatically excluded from the export like in emacs. 8

this is not part of 8 anymore as there are 2 blank lines in between!

- footnotes can contain markup

- and other elements

  - like blocks

        other non-plain

  - and tables

    1 | a
    2 | b
    3 | c

Footnotes break after two consecutive empty lines - just like paragraphs - see https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html. This shouldn't happen when the definition line and the line after that are empty.

the inline footnote definition

the anonymous inline footnote definition

so this definition will not be at the end of this section in the exported document. Rather, it will be somewhere down below in the footnotes section.

There's multiple reasons for that. Among others, doing so requires i18n (to recognize the section) and silently hides content before and after the footnotes9.

Footnotes can be linked from another footnote's definition.
