Text Formatting ⇒ edited footnote mark

[ge0rge04]

Hi all.

I need to edit a footmark to look like this

Code: Select all

Title
Author (*

text...


_____
*) Author's adress

What i was able to write is something like this, but it doesn't look too logical

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\renewcommand{\footnotemark{(*}}
\title{Title}
\author{Author\footnote
{*)author's adress}}
\date{}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}

Can you suggest an alternative?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\title{Title}
\author{Author\thanks{Author's adress}}
\date{}

\begin{document}
  \maketitle
\end{document}

Best regards
Thorsten

i tested your example
it's not like in the example, but it's still close.
it should be a '(' before the * in the title and a ')' after the * in the footnote.

Oh, missed one part during copy & paste process.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\makeatletter
% Original definition in »latex.ltx«
\def\thanks#1{\space(\footnotemark
    \protected@xdef\@thanks{\@thanks
        \protect\footnotetext[\the\c@footnote]{)\space #1}}%
}
\makeatother

\title{Title}
\author{Author\thanks{Author's adress}}
\date{}

\begin{document}
  \maketitle
\end{document}
