Text Formatting ⇒ Footnotes in the Document Title

[bellum]

Hello guys,

I would need some help with footnotes since I desperately tried searching over the internet but I could not find anything.

I want to include two footnotes in the title and author environment: therefore something like this

Code: Select all

\title{The title \footnote{Hi}}
\author{My name \footnote{Thank you}}

The problem is that the second default symbol LaTeX uses is a cross, that when placed over a name means the person is dead. Is there anything I can do to tell LaTeX to avoid this symbol? I found several solutions online, but all of them seem to work only for the article and not the title environment.

I thank you all for your time.

Hi bellum,

welcome to the board!

I answered such a question earlier, you can read it here: How can I customize the \thanks footnote symbol.

You could either change the symbol, or switch to arabic numbering instead of using symbols, both ways are described there.
