The above works fine for me as a way to insert inline footnotes with random labels. When I call org-footnote-action, I get the following. - Here is a footnote.[fn:5952d54e: A footnote] >> I misunderstood though, because the footnotes will still get defined >> in the Footnote section, too. Could you please explain what you mean here? The above settings do not create a footnote section when I call org-footnote-action or org-footnote-new. But you could use (setq org-footnote-section nil) to ensure that any footnote definitions (if they exist) will be placed in the same section as the footnote reference. Or do you mean the label for "Footnotes" in, say, html export? If so, I believe you can configure the variable org-html-footnotes-section. Best, Matt
