rebber: footenotetext cannot be placed everywhere

[pierre-24]

This code actually works after translation in LaTeX:

# The elephant [^a]
[^a]: in the room

!![](https://www.drawingforall.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/4-apple-drawing.jpg)
Figure: this is a famous [^b] picture
[^b]: or not

This one don't

# The elephant [^ in the room]

!![](https://www.drawingforall.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/4-apple-drawing.jpg)
Figure: this is a famous [^ or not] picture

---

I'm a big fan of the [^ this is a footnote] feature, which is translated by rebber as

\textsuperscript{\ref{footnote:2}}\footnotetext[2]{\label{footnote:2} this is a footnote.}

Except I just discovered that this is problematic in (at least) two situations:

• Inside titles # the elephant [^ in the room]
• In figure (and probably other) captions: Figure: this is a famous [^ or not] picture.

Actually, the problem is only the \footnotetext{} part (which explains why the first code works and the second don't), so that node should be "delayed" right after the caption/figure in TeX, if possible ;)

.... except if @Karnaj has an idea on the latex side. The error is, for example,

Argument of \@caption has an extra }.

Hi,

I'm planning on correcting this in the upcoming version of ZMarkdown, could you please provide the expected result from your example above?

Also, please note that due to and update in our dependencies, the old syntax is unlikely to remain, and inline footnotes will become: ^[long footnote] instead of [^long footnote] (note the subtle change).

Okay, just noticed we do have something to prevent this behavior, but... it seems to be misused for footnoteDefinition.

The current system, which I can expand to the test case you give, gives the following result:

\levelOneTitle{hello\textsuperscript{\ref{footnote:1}}\footnotetext[1]{\label{footnote:1} footnote that i like}\protect}

Please note the \protect at the end which supposedly solves the bug.

[Karnaj]

\levelOneTitle{hello\textsuperscript{\ref{footnote:1}}\protect\footnotetext[1]{\label{footnote:1} footnote that i like}}

(I'm also trying to use \footnotemark instead of \label and \ref (it will permit to have the link to the correct page)).

Fixed in upcoming version.
