[emacs-wiki-discuss] muse: muse-latex and footnotes

[Jim Ottaway]

I have just been looking at muse's publishing of latex footnotes.  It
looks as though footnotes are always rendered as \footnotemark{<mark>}
and \footnotetext{<text>}.  The usual latex style is to use
\footnote{<text>}, and to have latex work out the number/mark for
itself. So using \footnotemark/text looks a bit unnatural to the LaTeX
user.  

It also makes it impossible to specify in the preamble such things as
per-page rather than per-document footnote numbering.

I suggest that footnotemark and footnotetextend be set to "" in
muse-latex-markup-strings [or removed if it works that way too].

There are instances in latex when one might want to have
footnotemark/text [in figures, tables, etc., and in minipages], but I
can't see anything in muse-latex that would generate broken latex
footnote code if this change were to be implemented.

Sorry for the flurry of muse and latex related posts!
