how to make the \thanks note flush with margin?

Post by beoram »

I came across code for making footnotes flush with the margin:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\newlength{\myFootnoteWidth}
\newlength{\myFootnoteLabel}
\setlength{\myFootnoteLabel}{.6em}%  <-- 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
but this doesn't seem to affect the \thanks-footnote.

How do I do the same thing with \thanks?

(\)thanks,
Ben

Immediately I was attempted to suggest the footmisc package.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[bottom,flushmargin,hang,multiple]{footmisc}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\parindent0em

\title{Flushed footnotes everywhere\\\tiny Except author thanks}
\author{beoram\thanks{Registered User} \and localghost\thanks{Moderator}}
\date{2006/06/10}

\begin{document}
  \maketitle
  \Blinddocument
\end{document}
But it doesn't work either. And I have no idea for an alternative at the moment.


Best regards
Thorsten
