I think the best help I can do is to describe the first steps to find your way in the emacs jungle. First, take a few minutes to read and try these three commands. ,----[ C-h k C-h k ] | C-h k runs the command describe-key, which is an interactive compiled | Lisp function in `help.el'. | | It is bound to C-h k, <f1> k, <help> k, <menu-bar> <help-menu> | <describe> <describe-key-1>. | | (describe-key &optional key untranslated up-event) | | Display documentation of the function invoked by key. | key can be any kind of a key sequence; it can include keyboard events, | mouse events, and/or menu events. When calling from a program, | pass key as a string or a vector. | | If non-nil, untranslated is a vector of the corresponding untranslated events. | It can also be a number, in which case the untranslated events from | the last key sequence entered are used. | up-event is the up-event that was discarded by reading key, or nil. | | If key is a menu item or a tool-bar button that is disabled, this command | temporarily enables it to allow getting help on disabled items and buttons. | | [back] `---- ,----[ C-h k C-h v ] | C-h v runs the command describe-variable, which is an interactive | compiled Lisp function in `help-fns.el'. | | It is bound to C-h v, <f1> v, <help> v, <menu-bar> <help-menu> | <describe> <describe-variable>. | | (describe-variable variable &optional buffer frame) | | Display the full documentation of variable (a symbol). | Returns the documentation as a string, also. | If variable has a buffer-local value in buffer or frame | (default to the current buffer and current frame), | it is displayed along with the global value. | | [back] `---- ,----[ C-h k C-h f ] | C-h f runs the command describe-function, which is an interactive | compiled Lisp function in `help-fns.el'. | | It is bound to C-h f, <f1> f, <help> f, <menu-bar> <help-menu> | <describe> <describe-function>. | | (describe-function function) | | Display the full documentation of function (a symbol). | | [back] `---- Now you are ready to discover org-footnote-definition-re and org-footnote-re. Just press "C-h v org-footnote-re RET" (RET being enter). ,----[ C-h v org-footnote-re RET ] | org-footnote-re is a variable defined in `org-footnote.el'. | Its value is | ".\\[\\(?:\\([0-9]+\\)\\|\\(fn:\\([-_[:word:]]+?\\)?\\)\\(?::\\([^]]*?\\)\\)?\\)\\]" | | Documentation: | Regular expression for matching footnotes. | | [back] `---- ,----[ C-h v org-footnote-definition-re RET ] | org-footnote-definition-re is a variable defined in `org-footnote.el'. | Its value is | "^\\(\\[\\([0-9]+\\|fn:[-_[:word:]]+\\)\\]\\)" | | Documentation: | Regular expression matching the definition of a footnote. | | [back] `---- Right. Now you have a good idea of what those variables are for. But wait ! How to guess the names of the variables ? ,----[ C-h f apropos-variable RET ] | apropos-variable is an interactive compiled Lisp function in | `apropos.el'. | | It is bound to <menu-bar> <help-menu> <search-documentation> | <find-options-by-name>. | | (apropos-variable pattern &optional do-all) | | Show user variables that match pattern. | pattern can be a word, a list of words (separated by spaces), | or a regexp (using some regexp special characters). If it is a word, | search for matches for that word as a substring. If it is a list of words, | search for matches for any two (or more) of those words. | | With C-u prefix, or if `apropos-do-all' is non-nil, also show | normal variables. | | [back] `---- So calling M-x apropos-variable RET org.*footnote RET will return : ,----[ M-x apropos-variable RET org.*footnote RET ] | org-export-html-footnotes-section | Variable: Format for the footnotes section. | org-export-with-footnotes | Variable: If nil, export [1] as a footnote marker. | org-footnote-auto-label | Variable: Non-nil means, define automatically new labels for footnotes. | org-footnote-define-inline | Variable: Non-nil means, define footnotes inline, at reference location. | org-footnote-definition-re | Variable: Regular expression matching the definition of a footnote. | org-footnote-fill-after-inline-note-extraction | Variable: Non-nil means, fill paragraphs after extracting footnotes. | org-footnote-label-history | Variable: History of footnote labels entered in current buffer. | org-footnote-re | Variable: Regular expression for matching footnotes. | org-footnote-section | Variable: Outline heading containing footnote definitions before export. | org-footnote-tag-for-non-org-mode-files | Variable: Tag marking the beginning of footnote section. `---- Oh, and org-export-with-footnotes looks interesting also. How to set all those variables now ? In your emacs session, you probably have a *scratch* buffer where you can type the emacs lisp language. You will need the setq function ,----[ C-h f setq RET ] | setq is a special form in `C source code'. | | (setq [sym val]...) | | Set each sym to the value of its val. | The symbols sym are variables; they are literal (not evaluated). | The values val are expressions; they are evaluated. | Thus, (setq x (1+ y)) sets `x' to the value of `(1+ y)'. | The second val is not computed until after the first sym is set, and so on; | each val can use the new value of variables set earlier in the `setq'. | The return value of the `setq' form is the value of the last val. | | [back] `---- so if you want to set org-export-with-footnotes to nil, type --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (setq org-export-with-footnotes nil) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- To evaluate a line in the scratch buffer, go to the last closing paren and do C-j or C-x C-e. You can immediatly try org exports to see if your settings are ok. Once you have find the settings you want for org-mode, you will want to copy those lisp lines in your ~/.emacs file which is read at emacs startup. Want to know how I learned that ? ,----[ C-h f info RET ] | info is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in `info.el'. | | It is bound to C-h i, <f1> i, <help> i. | | (info &optional file-or-node buffer) | | Enter Info, the documentation browser. | Optional argument file-or-node specifies the file to examine; | the default is the top-level directory of Info. | Called from a program, file-or-node may specify an Info node of the form | `(FILENAME)NODENAME'. | Optional argument buffer specifies the Info buffer name; | the default buffer name is *info*. If buffer exists, | just switch to buffer. Otherwise, create a new buffer | with the top-level Info directory. | | In interactive use, a non-numeric prefix argument directs | this command to read a file name from the minibuffer. | A numeric prefix argument selects an Info buffer with the prefix number | appended to the Info buffer name. | | The search path for Info files is in the variable `Info-directory-list'. | The top-level Info directory is made by combining all the files named `dir' | in all the directories in that path. | | See a list of available Info commands in `Info-mode'. | | [back] `---- I hope this does not sounds too much like a stupid RTFM. This was a RTFM, indeed, but a nice one I hope :) -- Paul _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
