Footnotemark

The following always in latex preamble:

Get rid off

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\@makefnmark{\relax}
\makeatother

Change style

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\@makefnmark{\@textsuperscript{\normalfont(\@thefnmark)}}
\makeatother

to get a footnote like this⁽¹⁾

Crossreferences of Footnotes

in latex preamble:

\newcommand\sups[1]{\hbox{\textsuperscript{\normalfont #1}}}

in text in tex (red):

\sups{<insert the crossref>}

Footnote not on two pages

To prevent footnotes to be placed on two pages, you can use \interfootnotelinepenalty=10000 in latex preamble.

Footnotes in floats

Latex only supports floating figures/tables/algorithms, but no floating footnotes. You can insert the footnote anyway, but it's often not on the same page!!!

in the caption write \protect\footnotemark

outside of the float

\addtocounter{footnote}{-n}
\stepcounter{footnote}\footnotetext{... the footnotetext ...}
\stepcounter{footnote}\footnotetext{... the next footnotetext ...}
...

n is the number of footnotes in your float, e.g. 2.

Indentation of Footnotetext

By default footnotes are indented like the following one:

----------------------------
    1 This is a footnotetext with a
not so long text.

with

\usepackage[flushmargin]{footmisc}

in latex preamble you'll get no indentation:

 ----------------------------
1 This is a footnotetext with a
  not so long text.
2 anotherone

The number is outside the left margin!! If you want it like

----------------------------
1 This is a footnotetext with a
  not so long text.
2 anotherone

with the number inside the textarea, write in LaTeX preamble:

\makeatletter
\newlength{\myFootnoteWidth}
\newlength{\myFootnoteLabel}
\setlength{\myFootnoteLabel}{1.2em}%  <-- can be changed to any valid value
\renewcommand{\@makefntext}[1]{%
  \setlength{\myFootnoteWidth}{\columnwidth}%
  \addtolength{\myFootnoteWidth}{-\myFootnoteLabel}%
  \noindent\makebox[\myFootnoteLabel][r]{\@makefnmark\ }%
  \parbox[t]{\myFootnoteWidth}{#1}%
}
\makeatother

The package footmisc may be part of the local TeX-installation, but also available at CTAN The only problem is the thanks-footnote on the title-page. latex resets the footmisc-settings, so that this footnote has the indentation. With the package myThanks you can suppress this too. Put this stylefile anywhere in your latex tree and run texhash.

Footnote at the bottom of the page

Sometimes the footnotes don't appear at the bottom of the page. Than you have to use the footmisc-package:
in latex preamble

\usepackage[bottom]{footmisc}

The package footmisc may be part of the local TeX-installation, but also available at CTAN

space between text and footnote

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\footnoterule{%
  \vspace{1em}%   <-- one line space between text and footnoterule
  \kern-3\p@\hrule\@width.4\columnwidth%
  \kern2.6\p@}
\makeatother

in latex preamble

Endnotes
Package endnotes for end-footnotes. it should be part of the installed LaTeX or available at CTAN.

%  To turn all the footnotes in your documents into endnotes, say
%
%     \let\footnote=\endnote
%
%  in your preamble, and then add something like
%
%     \newpage
%     \begingroup
%     \parindent 0pt
%     \parskip 2ex
%     \def\enotesize{\normalsize}
%     \theendnotes
%     \endgroup
%
% as the last thing in your document (just at the place for the endnotes).

By default the caption for the endnotes is "Notes". You can change this with

\renewcommand\notesname{your language specific notesname}

This command has to placed behind the \usepackage{endnotes}!
