General ⇒ Footnote does not stick to bottom of page

[hihabyte]

Hello everyone!

In my masters thesis, I have several footnotes. However, these footnotes seem to stick to my text, even if the regular text ends in the middle of the page for example. Having your footnote sticking to the bottom of this text in the middle of the page doesn't look very nice. So I would like it to always stick to the bottom, or in other words: I want the footnote to position itself upwards relative to the bottom of the page instead of downwards from the bottom of the text.

The question is thus: how can I make my footnotes stick to the bottom of the page?

tyvm in advance!

Hi there,

How do you declare your footnotes??? I always declared them like this

Code: Select all

blablabla\footnote{this is the footnote to blablabla}

With this code, the footnotes were placed at the bottom of the page where blablabla is.

If this is what you have been doing, then give more info on your problem, maybe with a code example.

Cheers

I have indeed simply been using the \footnote{} command. Footnotes are always placed on the correct page, but they do not stick to the bottom. I've checked it again and the problem seems to occur in situations where a figure doesn't fit on the current page anymore and is moved to the next page. An example:

Code: Select all

 blabla\footnote{het doel van een simulatie is immers nagaan hoe een systeem presteert} en maken  ... more text here

\myfigure[H]{width=10cm}{BackorderVersusVoorraad}{Backorderkost uitgezet tov. voorraadkost \label{VoorraadvsBackorder}}

\subsection{Prestatiematen gericht op het Bullwhip Effect}

In this case, there is no room for foonote and figure on the current page. So the figure is moved to the next page and the footnote moves up to the bottom of the text, like in the picture attached to this post. What I would like is for the footnote NOT to move upwards to the middle of the page.

Thanks already for your time.

Hi,

you could fix it with the footmisc package:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[bottom]{footmisc}

Alternatively,

one can often use \clearpage after the section or paragraph in question.

Code: Select all

...
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing 
elit. Aliquam luctus, arcu eu consectetur egestas,
urna erat tinciduntest, eu tristique lorem justo
vitae sem.  \footnote{...}

\clearpage

...
