Hi Org maintainers,
I've been trying to get iCalendar export working with my agenda files
again since upgrading to 8.0, and I've found that footnotes break the
agenda export to .ics. The problem is that a plain text version of the
footnotes in the file ends up in the output "floating loose"---not
wrapped by VEVENT tags or any other tags---resulting in an unparseable
.ics file (at least according to Google Calendar).
Here's a sample Org file to illustrate:
* Entry 1
This entry has some text with an inline footnote[fn:: which isn't
very interesting]
* Entry 2
This entry has some text with an external footnote[fn:1]
* Appointment with Someone
<2013-04-20 Sat 15:00>
* Footnotes
[fn:1] which still isn't very interesting
And here's the output I get when I export this
(via C-c a < a C-x C-w /tmp/test.ics):
BEGIN:VCALENDAR

Footnotes
─────────
[1] which isn't very interesting
[2] which still isn't very interesting
END:VCALENDAR
Note that I still seem to get the behavior when I restrict the export to
headlines matching certain tags. In that case, even footnotes from
entries which should not be exported end up in the output, which seems
pretty strange.
It doesn't make much sense to me to have footnotes when exporting to a
calendar format, so is there any way to suppress exporting footnotes in
this case?
Thanks!
Best,
Richard
