further references to the same footnote should not 1 render duplicates in the footnote list
inline footnotes are also supported via 2.
Footnote definitions are not printed where they appear. Rather, they are gathered and exported at the end of the document in the footnote section. 4
Please note that the footnotes section is not automatically excluded from the export like in emacs. 7
this is not part of 7 anymore as there are 2 blank lines in between!
so this definition will not be at the end of this section in the exported document. Rather, it will be somewhere down below in the footnotes section.

footnotes can contain markup
and other elements
like blocks
other non-plain
and tables
| 1 | a |
| 2 | b |
| 3 | c |
Footnotes break after two consecutive empty lines - just like paragraphs - see https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html. This shouldn't happen when the definition line and the line after that are empty.
There's multiple reasons for that. Among others, doing so requires i18n (to recognize the section) and silently hides content before and after the footnotes.
