Dear Baoqiu,
thanks a lot for the reply... I have done some level of debugging (I
should have probably done it before, but I was not sure of what was
going on) and I had realized that the problem is in using brackets
[ ]
in the text.
Please find enclosed a simple file that will depict the issue.
Hi Mario,
Thanks for posting your example Org file. Now I am able to reproduce
the problem and know where the bug is.
Just as you said, the problem is caused by the last line that contains
strings "double[9]" and "double[3][3]". Here "[9]" and "[3]" are
considered footnote references (and I don't think this is what you
wanted), so some code is executed to find the footnote definitions.
The problem happens when the *second* "[3]" is being processed.
Strictly speaking, the second "[3]" is NOT considered as a footnote
reference according to ``org-footnote-re'' (see org-footnote.el), but
some code in org-docbook.el and org-html.el does not use
``org-footnote-re'' and still treats it as a footnote reference. This
inconsistency caused the problem you saw, and it is only visible in
DocBook exporter.
Before I try to fix the problem, I'd like to get Carsten's
confirmation
on the footnote reference syntax: whether the second "[3]", which
immediately follows a character "]", should be treated as a footnote
reference.
To get around this problem, you can try changing the last line to
something like:
- =double[9]= was less efficient that =double[3][3]=,
