Re: [O] Footnotes-per-element?

[Tory S. Anderson]

THanks for this; it may be a workable solution. The trick is, I 
didn't generate the footnotes myself -- I have concatenated a 
bunch of html -> orgmode pandoc outputs. Still an elisp 
find-and-replace might do what I need. I was just hoping for a 
quick switch to flip for localized footnotes.

Thanks!
