Page Layout ⇒ Footnotes in Headings

[mischuin]

Dear all,

how can I put a footnote into a heading of a section so that the number of note indicator sticks to the title? I'm doing like that (imagine that this is my second section and my first footnote):

Code: Select all

\section{Bla Bla}\footnote{Kkkkkkkkkkkkk} 

And the result is like:

2 Bla Bla
1

Instead of

2 Bla Bla^1

As I'd expected...

What is my mistake? Should I use a specific package for footnotes in titles?


Thanks in advance!
Michelle

Hi Michelle,

it would be great if you would avoid to post just bla bla and bla bla for dummy text, it's not so much fun to read. Be serious or creative.

For footnotes in section headings, I recommend to

• place the \footnote command in the section argument, i.e. within the braces
• If you don't want to have a copy of this footnote in the table of contents, use the optional argument of \section with the title but without the footnote:

  Code: Select all

  \section[title]{title\footnote{text}}

• If you need a footnote to be in the table of contents as well, use \protect to prevent the \footnote command to be expanded before moved to the ToC:

  Code: Select all

  \section{title\protect\footnote{text}}
