Page Layout ⇒ Space between footnote numer and following text

[Lowtzow]

Hello,

first, I want to say, that I am not a native englisch speaker.

I googled this problem with many different terms but without any success. If you know an interesting link to my problem, I would be very thankful.

I am writing my master thesis and we are not allowed to start the footnote-number-counting from one in each chapter. So it happens, at one point, that my footnote-counter goes beyond 99. Then the space between the number and the following text is not existent. I made a screenshot to show you the problem (footnote_forum.png). I tried a lot of things with the footmisc package, but it seems not to work, nothing changes. Here is my minimal, but because there wasn't any changes , i do not know, where the mistake is, so my example might be a little bit too big (I am using the TeXnicCenter 2.02, windows 7):

Code: Select all

\documentclass[fontsize=12pt, paper=a4, headinclude, twoside=false, parskip=half+, pagesize=auto, numbers=noenddot, plainheadsepline, open=right, toc=listof, toc=bibliography]{scrreprt}
% PDF-Kompression
\pdfminorversion=5
\pdfobjcompresslevel=1

\usepackage[automark]{scrpage2} 

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % Ligaturen, richtige Umlaute im PDF
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}% UTF8-Kodierung für Umlaute usw
\usepackage{lmodern}

\usepackage[babel, german=quotes]{csquotes}
\usepackage{xpatch}
\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithout{footnote}{chapter}

\deffootnote{1.5em}{1em}{\makebox[1.5em][l]{\thefootnotemark}}

\typearea{14}

\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{Roman}
\pagestyle{empty}
%here the titlepage is made
\pagestyle{useheadings}
\pagenumbering{arabic}

\tableofcontents

\chapter{First chapter}

\appendix
\end{document}

The solution is much more simple than you think. There is an example in the KOMA-Script manual as well.
\deffootnote{1.5em}{1em}{\thefootenotemark\ }
The full example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[fontsize=12pt,
 paper=a4,
 headinclude,
 twoside=false,
parskip=half+,
 pagesize=auto,
 numbers=noenddot,
 plainheadsepline,
open=right,
% toc=listof,
listof=totoc,
% toc=bibliography
bibliography=totoc
]{scrreprt}
%    % PDF-Kompression
%\pdfminorversion=5
%\pdfobjcompresslevel=1

%\usepackage[automark]{scrpage2}%Please note that this package is
%deprecated and should be replaced by scrlayer-scrpage in your
%next document
\usepackage[automark]{scrlayer-scrpage}


\deffootnote{1.5em}{1em}{\makebox[1.5em][l]{\thefootnotemark}\ }

\typearea{14}

\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{showframe}
\begin{document}
\chapter{First chapter}
\setcounter{footnote}{98}
\footnote{Is there enough space in front of me?\blindtext}
\footnote{Is there enough space in front of me?\blindtext}
\footnote{Is there enough space in front of me?\blindtext}
\blindtext

\end{document}

Thank you very much. Yeah it looks really simple and - much more important - it worked

I am trying to understand all the things going on with LaTex, but in every thesis there is another problem to solve...

Thank you
