Variable: org-footnote-section

org-footnote-section is a customizable variable defined in org-footnote.el.gz.

Value

"Footnotes"

Documentation

Outline heading containing footnote definitions.

This can be nil, to place footnotes locally at the end of the current outline node. It can also be a string representing the name of a special outline heading under which footnotes should be put.

This variable defines the place where Org puts the definition automatically, i.e. when creating the footnote, and when sorting the notes. However, by hand, you may place definitions
*anywhere*.

If this is a string, during export, all subtrees starting with this heading will be ignored.

If you don't use the customize interface to change this variable, you will need to run the following command after the change:

  C-u (universal-argument) M-x org-element-cache-reset (org-element-cache-reset)
