General ⇒ Footnote line vertical space with the revtex4-1 class

[Cham]

I'm having a small aesthetical glitch with the footnote line, with the revtex4-1 document class :

The line has too much vertical white space above the first footnote entry. How to reduce it ?

And how to make that line a bit longer ?

Here's a MWE code to work with, with some humor :

Code: Select all

\RequirePackage[l2tabu,orthodox]{nag}
\documentclass[10pt,letterpaper,nofootinbib,notitlepage,tightenlines]{revtex4-1}
\usepackage[letterpaper,margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage{microtype}
\raggedbottom
\usepackage[bottom]{footmisc}

\begin{document}

\title{A code from a bozo}
\author{A bozo made this code}
\maketitle

\section{Some unfunny title}

\LaTeX is cool\footnote{Some note from a clown.}

\end{document}

A quick shot:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\footnoterule}{\kern -1ex\rule{\linewidth}{0.5pt}\\\vspace{1ex}}

I wasn't expecting this kind of command. Feels "hacky".

Is it really the most "natural" way, or is it a kind of hack because of the lack of flexibility of the revtex4 class ?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

\footnoterule is predefined and just used, you can redefine it as you like. I just put together some commands.

Ok, I think this is good then. I'll use your code, with a shorter lenght.

Thanks again, Stefan !

I have one last glitch with footnotes and the pesky revtex4-1 class. I'll start another topic on it, since it's unrelated to the above (AFAIK).
