Spacing between Footnotes

Post by lynnlee »

Hello LaTeX Community,

I want to set spacing to footnotes. If there are over two footnotes in one page, how to set spacing between one footnote and the other?

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Spacing between Footnotes

Hi Lynn,

you could adjust the length \footnotesep for this. For example:

Code: Select all

\setlength{\footnotesep}{\baselineskip}
You could also use a factor, such as 1.5\baselineskip for 1.5 of of a line skip spacing between footnotes. Or other units, such as 2ex. I just would use relative units, not pt or cm, because relative units such as ex and em are adjusted when you change the font size.
