[O] how to convert/normalize plain footnotes into [fn:] ones

[Gerald Wildgruber]

Hi,

I'm trying to convert older orgmode documents which have plain,
"[1]"-like footnotes into the newer "[fn:]" format.

Can this be done automatically?

In

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2015-12/msg00435.html

Nicolas mentions "org-footnote-normalize" which would turn old footnotes
in new ones, but it does nothing in my case except adding a "*
Footnotes" entry.

Thanks

Gerald.
