Document Classes ⇒ Report class: adding footnotes to chapter titles

[powersn]

Hello forum. I am formatting my dissertation and need some help. My dissertation is comprised of three papers, and I am using report class to put them all into a single document (where each paper is a chapter). However, one of the papers is co-authored, and I'd like to have a footnote to the chapter heading saying ``The material in this chapter represents joint work with ...''

When working in article class, this is straightforward, using \thanks{}, but I am having trouble with this, or with footnotes. Does anybody have any experience with this? Thank you.

HI,

use the optional argument of the commands for sectional units; an example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\chapter[Test chapter]{Test chapter\footnote{a test footnote.}}

\end{document}

Thank you. That was amazingly quick response time and an embarrassingly simple solution.
