General ⇒ Footnote problem in RevTex

[akkedo]

Hi All

I am using revtex for writing a scientific article and hit a problem with footnotes.
Making a footnote (\footnote{test}) results in [? ] upon compiling the document.
I have read the documentation for footnotes in revtex and it is supported as in normal LaTeX.
Anyone know the solution to this problem?

My preamble:
\documentclass[pra,twocolumn,a4paper]{revtex4-1}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{graphicx}
%\usepackage{hyperref}

Note that I normally use hyperref but in this instance have disabled it for debugging purposes.

I would greatly appreciate any help I can get for this problem.

Did you run bibtex? RevTeX puts footnotes together with references.

Worked like a charm! Thanks so much for your help. Didn't know that RevTex ran footnotes together with BibTex.

Hi there!

I'm having the same problem with the [?] in the footnotes but I don't know how to "run bibtex" in order to solve it. How did you do that?

Thanks in advance,
Vanysh.

You run bibtex just like you run latex itself, except you run it on the .aux file rather than the .tex file. So if you were using the command line, instead of:

Code: Select all

latex filename.tex

you'd run

Code: Select all

bibtex filename.aux

But most people don't use the command line; they have an editor that does this sort of thing for them. Most likely your editor has a menu option or button for running bibtex, but if you want help with that, at least tell us what operating system and editor you're using!

(You'll need to rerun LaTeX, probably twice, after running BiBTeX.)

Is it ok to put footnotes together with references? The former ones are supposed to be on the page bottom. In fact, I arrived to this forum because I thought it was an error of RevTeX or AIAA.cls.
