Thanks Bastien.

My real problem is that plain footnotes such as [1930] are a general
nuisance to me since so many legal citations use that form. I am using a
hack suggested by Jan Bocker to disable them, perform some operation and
then "un hack" the hack.

The hack is: replace [ with [ and a non-printing space when [ begins a
plain footnote. The trouble is that I need to define new functions or
macros for each general footnote operation.

I think I misunderstood the purpose of f:nil in the options line.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Alan
