Dear Org maintainers,
I was using Org to write a software manual with a structure along the
lines of:
* Equations
How to write equations in software FOO.
* Footnotes
How to write footnotes in software FOO.
* Images
How to insert images in software FOO.
When I exported the document (to LaTeX and HTML), I was puzzled to find
that one of the sections was not exported at all...
After investigating the problem for a while, I realized that if a section
is named "Footnotes" the default behavior of Org is to ignore it silently.
My solution was to set `org-footnote-section' to nil.
I think it would help Org users if:
1. Org export (to LaTeX, HTML, etc.) emits an error or a prominent warning
when it ignores an entire section like this.
2. The manual would warn the user about this behavior with a prominent
warning.
Thanks for maintaining Org-mode. I'm finding it quite convenient for a
variety of tasks.
Arni
