There is support for "--latex-footnotes" in Docutils 0.23 (rc1 is just out) so maybe we can close this ticket as outdated.

**[patches:#81] latex2e: Allow footnotes to be more easily customizable**

**Status:** open

For example Russian GOST 19.106 requires that footnotes contain
footnote-number + "\)" which in plain LaTeX could be done as

\renewcommand\{\thefootnote\}\{\arabic\{footnote\}\)\}
^
note "\)"

but Docutils uses its own \DUfootnotemark and \DUfootnotetext macros
with hyperlinks setup which redefine \thefootnote in-there and the
above-shown tweak does not work.

So in order to make even small tweaks for foot notes, users have to
either "fork" \DUfootnotemark and \DUfootnotetext in their stylesheet,
or better, what I'm proposing here, just redefine here-introduced
\DUthefootnote, e.g. like this:

\providecommand\*\{\DUthefootnote\}\[1\]\{\#1\)\}

Thanks,
Kirill
