URL in footnote

Post by GeorgeXXX »

I'm attempting to put a URL in a footnote.
This works

wording:\footnote{http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/o/w/owtking.htm\#Kethe}}

This doesn't

Test\footnote{http:\\chi.gospelcom.net\DAILYF\2003\06\daily-06-09-2003.shtml}
}

The error message complains about a missing $. Latex seems to be in math mode.

Here is an attempt at a work around that doesn't work either.
Test\footnote{\begin{verbatim}http:\\chi.gospelcom.net\DAILYF\2003\06\daily-06-09-2003.shtml\end{verbatim}
}}

Can't have \begin{verbatim} ... \end{verbatim} inside \footnote{...}

Help please

Hi George,

I recommend to use the url package:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{url}
...
Text\footnote{\url{http://...}}
