General ⇒ Customizing \footref mark (footmisc package)

[meho_r]

Hi,

I noticed that footmisc package has a nice feature for referring to a footnote, but the problem is that the number is displayed in the format of \footnotemark, i.e., superscript. I want to change the way it's displayed only when using \footref, while in footnotes \footnotemark should be superscript. Here's an example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{book}
\usepackage{footmisc}

\begin{document}
Test\footnote{Testing footnote\label{fref}}. Look at the next page\ldots{}

\newpage

How to make footref display normal number and not superscript when referring? 
\begin{quote}
''Look at the footnote~\footref{fref} on the page~\pageref{fref}.'' 
\end{quote}

should be: 

\begin{quote}
''Look at the footnote~1 on the page~1.''
\end{quote}
\end{document}

Just use \ref{fref} rather than \footref{fref} -- and in fact, then you don't even need the footmisc package.

Oh, man. It is time for me to do some serious "rereading" of LaTeX literature

Thank you very much for the solution, frabjous, I haven't thought \ref would work that way in footnotes. Every day one learns something new
