Text Formatting ⇒ Constant lines spacing in footnotes

[Cham]

Very often, my footnotes contain small equations, and this makes ugly variable vertical line spacing.

How can I tell LaTeX to fix the vertical line spacing in footnotes ?

Hi Cham,

instead of displayed equations, such as by \[ ... \], you could use inline math in footnotes, such as by $...$.

This is what I'm doing (sorry, I wasn't clear enough in my first message).

However, I noticed that the PDF output doesn't seem to be exactly the same in my LaTeX compilator's preview, compared with the PDF document itself as seen in my PDF reader app (Preview, from Apple). The vertical spacing may be constant, finally, but I'm not sure yet.

Perhaps show a minimal compilable code example, which shows the inconsistent spacing. You can create it by making a copy of your document and reducing that.

Hmm, that's a bit complicated. I'm not sure the example would be usefull. I'm using the following preambule commands to fix the main text vertical spacing :

Code: Select all

\raggedbottom
\usepackage{setspace}
\setstretch{1.1}
\usepackage{microtype}

Isn't there a command to fix vertical lines spacing in the footnotes as well, if the previous commands don't actually affect the footnotes ?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

So you mean by fixing, that you would like to generally stretch the footnote line spacing as well?

No, just to keep the default spacing constant, as if there were no equations at all.

Perhaps show an example. Simple math doesn't cause this for me.
