[O] Bug: no hypertext in a latex exported footnote

[Heikki Lehvaslaiho]

If you add a footnote that starts with an URL, latex export fails to recognize it as a hypertext. My quick fix has been to add a nonbreaking space before the URL. I'd love to see this fixed in the repo.

#---------------------------Example text--------------------------

#+TITLE:  Hypertext export in a footnote

#+OPTIONS: toc:nil 

* Main text

Two search engines google[fn:google] and bing[fn:bing].

* Footnotes

[fn:google] \nbsp http://www.google.com is hypertex

[fn:bing] http://www.bing.com is not a hypertext

#---------------------------Example text--------------------------

I prefer the look of the footnote (in PDF) with a space separating the number and the text, but is the tight coupling such a well established convention that this has to be fixed in some other way than adding a tilde into the latex?
