Re: [Orgmode] Bug: Impossible to have right bracket in footnotes [7.01trans]

[Scot Becker]

Well I use biblatex to produce the chicago citations, used pretty widely in the humanities in N. America, and the LaTeX \cite{} commands under that setup take their optional arguments in square brackets.  The most frequent optional argument is a page number for the citation, but I also use them for prefixes to the citation, e.g. a footnote which reads "See also Becker, 59" would be generated like this \autocite[59][See also](Becker2010).

Perhaps it would be best to determine for what type of writing the current way
Org handles footnotes is lacking.  Is it just academic writing in general, of
mostly only certain fields?  Both Alan and I have needed to use a workaround
for legal writing (I'm a first-year student; don't know about Alan).  What
have other people had trouble footnoting/citing in Org?
