Hi Bastien and Nicolas,
Thanks for the work. I do think the footnote transformation function
looks useful, though for now I think I will stick with defining the
footnotes at the end of each section and re-sorting the footnotes before
refile. I still think it would be useful to have org-refile move
footnotes by default. If I have some time soon I will look at what might
be required to do this effectively. I may ask the two of you for help as
I am still familiarizing myself with the org mode code.
All best,
Leonard
