Hello The following problem occurs using xemacs -vanilla! Please consider the following simple example: --8<------------------------schnipp------------------------->8--- \documentclass[12pt]{article} \begin{document} this [1] now the second [2] the third[3] and the next \end{document} Footnotes: [1] this is true [2] ok [3] that seems to work --8<------------------------schnapp------------------------->8--- save the file say as new without extension so that xemacs opens the file in fundamental mode. When turning footnote-mode on and running footnote-init xemacs will 2 things. - Set the footnote style to english upper - only recognise one footnote see (from lossage) footnote-pointer-marker-alist: ((1 #<marker at 1 in new 0x9a20414>)) BTW when running footnote-init at the end of the buffer it does not recognise no footnote, that is a bug I presume, even with (save-excursion) xemacs should jump to the beginning of the buffer before doing the scan?! So I tried to set manually the style to numeric, but then I have to run the init function again, and oops again we have the english-upper style. I could of course delete the first line but what am I suppose to delete in a larger file?! That cannot be the right approach. I see that has an optional ispec, so I tried (footnote-init 'numeric) does not work neither.
