Text Formatting ⇒ to hide symbols of \footnote \thanks

[billy2011]

hi Latex fans,

I have two questions.

1. how to hidden(don't show) symbols in the \thanks or \footnote.

2. Similar question in the figure captions. by default, latex shows "Figure x:", then my captions.
How to hidden the "figure x:"

The reason is to fully/freely customize styles.

Thanks in advance!

hi,

I figured out the problems. But get another problem

to remove the symbols, I added the following lines in the preamble.
\renewcommand\footnotemark{} to remove footnote symbols
\usepackage[labelformat=empty]{caption} to remove figure captions' prefix:Figure :

But the text was first-line indented, making it looks strange. How to show the text without indentation. With that, we can freely customize the styles



Thanks a lot.

Hi all,

I currently used \hspace{-2em} to compensate indentation.

was thinking there might be some commands, footnote options, or definitions to turn of indentation.

Do you know it?

Thanks!
