Document Classes ⇒ Footnotemark in memoir

[Auerhahn]

The mamoir user guide writes on page 235 about redefining the footnote märk which appears in the text:

The \footnote macro calls the kernel command \@makefnmark to typeset the foot- note marker at the point where \footnote is called (the value of the marker is kept in the macro \@thefnmark which is defined by the \footnote or \footnotemark macros). The default definition typesets the mark as a superscript and is effectively

\newcommand*{\@makefnmark}[1]{\hbox{\textsuperscript{#1}}}

You can change this if, for example, you wanted the marks to be in parentheses at the baseline.
\renewcommand*{\@makefnmark}[1]{{\footnotesize (#1)}}

or, somewhat better to take account of the size of the surrounding text
\renewcommand*{\@makefnmark}[1]{\slashfracstyle{(#1)}}

This doesn't work. If I use one if these commands I get an empty paranthesis. It seems, there is no Parameter #1. Or what is wrong? And how can I redefine the footnote mark?

[Auerhahn]

I have the splution. The code must be:

\makeatletter
\renewcommand*\@makefnmark{{\footnotesize (\@thefnmark)}}
\makeatother
