General ⇒ Problems with symbols in footnotes in memoir document

[New Guest]

I have been trying to use \fnsymbols instead of Arabic numbering of my footnotes (I assume the numbering resets on every page if you use fnsymbols?). So far I have not been able to make it work. Here's my code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,article,oneside]{memoir}


\title{Help!} 
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\fnsymbol{\footnote}}

\begin{document}



It doesn't work. \footnote{I hope you can help!}


\end{document}

This generates 100 errors! Seems very strange I think. Please help!

Hi,

in your code you are using an extra backslash:

\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\fnsymbol{\footnote}}

Simply suppress that backslash:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\fnsymbol{footnote}}
