Allow me to hijack the thread with my question. One who knows the answer to the above can certainly answer me as well.

I'm using some math in my text and I don't want my footnotes to appear as a single number 2 but rather as (2) so that it can't be confused with a power.
How do I do that?

Redefine the command that is responsible for the appearance of the footnote counter.

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{(\arabic{footnote})}

No. This command only prints the footnote counter in a certain format. Note that changing the font size of footnotes is not so easy, since footnotes are typeset in math mode. From my point of view it makes no sense to increase the font size. Footnotes should optically be offset from the text body.
