Text Formatting ⇒ Line-spacing in Footnote on Title Page

[kyri]

Hello all,

I need some help with regard to my title page. I use setspace and in my document, all footnotes appear with a single-line spacing by default. However, this is not the case on my title page. Here is what I do:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[top=1in,bottom=1in,left=1.25in,right=1.25in]{geometry}
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.50}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{mathrsfs}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{amsxtra}
\usepackage{amstext}
\usepackage{latexsym}
\usepackage{dcolumn,graphicx}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{subfigure}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{bbm} 
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{setspace}

\begin{document}

\title{\textbf{  TITLE   \thanks{ .........  }\author{\textit{\Large{ ..... \footnote{ CONTACT DETAILS  }}}

\date{\today}

\maketitle

Can anyone help me?


Thanks in advance!
K.

Please always check your example for functionality and minimal content. Your sample code contains lots of superfluous packages that are not necessary to reproduce the problem. Furthermore the example is not compilable as provided.

If you drop the (wrong) redefinition of \baselinestretch and load the setspace package with the correct option there is no problem with line spacing in footnotes.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[includeheadfoot,vmargin=1in,hmargin=1.25in]{geometry}
\usepackage[onehalfspacing]{setspace}

\title{\textbf{The Title}\thanks{The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.}}
\author{\textit{The Author}\thanks{Author contact address}}
\date{\today}

\begin{document}
  \maketitle
\end{document}

Best regards and welcome to the board

Thanks a lot for your reply and sorry for my mistakes before. I now understand better how "setspace" works. Thanks again.
