Text Formatting ⇒ citing within footnote and using hyperref

[benti]

Hej,

I face the following problem: I need to attach a note to a section title. Part of the note is a reference to an item in the bibliography. Like this:

Code: Select all

\section{Introduction\protect\footnote{This chapter has been published as \citet{CITEDWORK}}}}

The document also uses hyperref, which causes a predictable problem because hyperref doesn't allow links to be 'nested'.

I figured a possible solution would be to make sure that hyperref somehow skips the \citet command in the \footnote. Is that possible; if so, how?

thanks,
Niels

Hi,

you could use something like this:

Code: Select all

\section[Introduction]{Introduction\protect\footnotemark[3]}
\footnotetext[3]{This chapter has been published as \citet{CITEDWORK}}

Notice the use of the optional argument of the \section command to prevent the footnote to be displayed in the table of contents.

Of course, in the optional argument of the \footnotemark and \footnotetext commands use the appropriate value.
