Hi,

the fancyvrb package could be an option. Take a look at the following example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyvrb}

\begin{document}

\VerbatimFootnotes
Some text\footnote{\verb=a test footnote.=}

\end{document}

Refer to the package documentation for further information.

helpful, thanks.

\VerbatimFootnotes
\foonote{\verb=http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/=} %fine

however,
\usepackage{html}
\VerbatimFootnotes
\foonote{
\htmladdnormallink{\verb=http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/=}{http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/}
}%no longer fine

Hi,

you could use the url package instead of verbatim environments/commands:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{url}
...
...\url{http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/}...
