i'm having problems with footnote position. For example, here in this picture:  The footnote is in the end of page, but sometimes it gets too high, like:  There's something I can do to fix this? I'm pretty new in Latex And sorry for my english, I'm still practicing... haha

\footnote[1]{\nameref*{8.1.16} is an अधिकार सूत्र it goes upto \nameref*{8.3.55}} \&amp; अङ्गाधिकार (अङ्गस्य)\footnote[2]{\nameref*{6.4.1} is an अधिकार सूत्र it goes upto \nameref*{7.4.97}}  I am using footnote as shown above. However the footnote appears to be floating and when I don't have much in the page it appears in the middle of the page. I got by so far with \vspace{} but I think there must be a way to position this at the bottom of the page despite whats in the page. Thanks for your help

I was wondering if there is way to change the symbols of footnotes to any symbol  I want. I know there are some packages that put away the numbers and use predefined symbols, but I want to use some arbitrary symbol. Is there a way?

My table consistently skips to the very last page! Is this simply a function of the doc mode? I have tried various float controlling methods like \FloatBarrier, etc., but nothing has been successful so far.  On the  it says:      When revising and proofreading a manuscript, it is most helpful to   have the tables and figures readily available (rather than turning   most of the way to the end of the manuscript to access them). If the   user invokes the floatsintext option (in the \documentclass line),   tables and figures will be integrated in the text approximately at the   point where they are mentioned.   I tried this but maybe I read it wrong.

It seems as if footnotes would have only a problem with the table environment but in my minimal example non of those answers        seem to work for the tabular environment.  \documentclass{scrartcl}  \begin{document} \begin{tabular}{l} Content\footnote{Footnote} \end{tabular} \end{document}

I want to show in the page foot the current progress of the document. For example, if the document contains 200 pages, then I want the foot to show 11.5% in the page 23.  Edit: I'm also interested the foot to show percent complete of current chapter. Is it possible?  Tank you for help

So for a report my teacher gave us exact prerequisite for the layout. He wants in text footnote citations in the author-year style and the bibliography in  the APA (5th) style. EDIT: The reference list should be numberd and sorted according to the appearence and I think corresponding to the footnote number.  Because I do not want to merge 5 .doc (MS Word) files from my group members and format everything in MS Word I need to get this to work in LaTeX.  Currently I am trying to get this to work with biblatex and Biber, but the combination of the two styles turns out to be very difficult to me. I am not set on biblatex. So, if it can be done with BibTeX or whatever, that is fine.

I need to use a minipage environment and I need a footnote in that minipage. I want the footnote to be numbered in the normal footnote sequence and to occur together with the rest of the footnotes in my document. But, as this minimal example shows:  \documentclass{article}  \begin{document}  Spam  \begin{minipage}{.5\linewidth}     Foo\footnote{bar} \end{minipage}  Ham  \end{document}   the obvious thing produces a footnote that 1) appears at the bottom of the minipage, and not the page itself, and 2) is "numbered" alphabetically.   How can I get a regular footnote in a minipage?

I am using LaTeX to write my dissertation, and I have realised that on the table of contents and on every chapter page, LaTeX leaves a lot of empty space.  What I mean is that lets say in the page where chapter 1 begins, from the top of the page until the chapter title there is much more vertical space than on any other page. The same goes with chapter 2 etc... and for contents page as well.   Can anybody help me to remove that space? Is there any mistake in my code or something like that? Is this a default of LaTeX?  the preamble is  \documentclass[12pt,twoside]{report} \pagestyle{plain} \usepackage{a4paper} \usepackage{setspace} \doublespacing  \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsmath}    I've tried the methods below, but none of them work properly.

Are there any best practices for how long to make your lines in your source file?  I'm also interested if there are best practices for it if there aren't any LaTeX-specific best practices.  I originally typed my LaTeX files like I was in Word:    each paragraph on its own line.   However, I eventually found that to be rather cumbersome and so I switched to one sentence per line (around the same time I moved from Dropbox to git).   That was large improvement for me.  Since I tend to write long sentences and like my footnotes, I tried an experiment in a file:    break lines after commas as well as after periods.   So far, it seems that this method would require a good bit of manual clean-up, since it produces some very short lines and there are still overly-long lines in the file.   What methods have you found to be the best for keeping your source's line lengths reasonable?

The first post I've seen this on is .        Note how the text in the comments runs off the right hand side of the page.  This seems to be due to the programmers.SE link in one of the comments, and might need some break-word styling...  What makes this even more of a problem is that the page is fixed to the width of my screen, so I can't scroll horizontally to get the rest of the comments.

I want the footnote mark to be superscripted in the text body (e.g. Footnote mark²), but normalsize in the foot, to be shown like:  ________________ 2. Some footnote text   Also, it would be nice if the mark appeared hanging in the left margin, like     ________________ 2. Some footnote text   (That is recommended by Bringhurst in his Elements of Typographic Style)

How could I position the epigraph in the end of the page, instead of at the beginning? I'm using this preamble:  \documentclass[pdftex,11pt,a4paper,openany]{memoir} \usepackage[brazil]{babel} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{indentfirst} \usepackage{latexsym} \usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts,wasysym} \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx} \usepackage{wrapfig} \usepackage[left=3cm,right=2cm,top=3cm,bottom=3cm]{geometry} \usepackage{color} \usepackage[dvipsnames]{xcolor} \definecolor{darkgray}{gray}{0.3} \setcounter{secnumdepth}{3} \setcounter{tocdepth}{3} \usepackage[pdftex, colorlinks=true, linkcolor=darkgray, citecolor=blue, urlcolor=blue]{hyperref}   and this commands on the page intended to the epigraph:  \thispagestyle{empty} \epigraph{O problema dessas citações na internet é a dificuldade para saber se elas são realmente autênticas.}{Friedrich Nietzsche}   I already tried to use \vspace{} and \vfill, and they dont work.

\renewcommand method does not work  \documentclass{article} \renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\arabic{footnote}} \begin{document}  \begin{minipage}{1.3\textwidth}  test this\footnote{abc} \end{minipage}  \end{document}   In the following example the footnote number is incorrect. Why?  \documentclass{article} \renewcommand{\thempfootnote}{\arabic{mpfootnote}} \begin{document} \begin{minipage}{.5\textwidth} test this\footnotemark \footnotetext{abc} \end{minipage} \end{document}

I have a table and some of the number inside has some symbol like * and **  which should be explianed as footer ( at the end of the table not the page) I dont know how to do that and I dont want to change my code  my code looks like this   \begin{table}[h]     \caption  {\bf Performance at First Doubles Matches}  % title name of the table     \centering  % centering table     \begin{tabular}{l c c c }  % creating 4 columns         \hline         % here is the info          \hline         % I need the foot note here ( I dont know if it is called fotenote or not ??) but I need the related info at the end of the table      \end{tabular}     \label{tab:PPer} \end{table}

I was wondering if someone knows if there is a foot/feet symbol available in any of latex packages that I could use in my text? I would appreciate any hint.  I do really mean a foot/feet icon as in the picture below.

I need to put some text at the same height in my page, and I'm trying to do it with a minipage, but I'm not able to do it since they get centre-aligned.    This is the LaTeX for the figure I've uploaded:  \begin{minipage}[]{0.5\textwidth}     \begin{flushleft}         {\large \textit{Author}:\vspace*{0.5cm} \\          Me}     \end{flushleft} \end{minipage}% % \begin{minipage}[]{0.5\textwidth}     \begin{flushright}         {\large \textit{Supervisor}:\vspace*{0.5cm} \\          Him}\\         \vspace*{0.5cm}         {\large \textit{Advisor}:\vspace*{0.5cm} \\          Other Guy}     \end{flushright}     \end{minipage}%   Can you please explain me what I'm doing wrong?
