Its about the primitive hack I wrote for 'permanent' footnotes. The variable which controls the footnote numbering is called counter-value. Now I have to save this variable when closing the file. Either by write-file-hooks or kill-buffer-hook Or something like this. My first intent was something like this. (defun my-insert-counter-value () (interactive) (save-excursion (goto-char (point-max)) (search-backward ";;; counter-value:") (beginning-of-line 1) (search-forward ";;; counter-value:") (kill-line) (insert (concat " " (format "%d" counter-value) " ")))) However I have to include the case that there might be no Local-Variable in this file.
