Counter Style for further Footnote System

Post by pippipalma »

Hello,

I use manyfoot to create a second footnote system, for which I wish to have an alphalph counter style. In order to have alphalph work properly with manyfoot, I write this.

Code: Select all

\DeclareNewFootnote{B}
\renewcommand{\thefootnoteB}{\alphalph{\value{footnoteB}}}
However, if I insert a label within a footnoteB (\label{noteB:lab}), when I call \ref{noteB:lab}, I get the arabic counter of the footnote, instead of its alphalph version.

Can you help me to fix the problem?


Thanks and best regards!
Giuseppe

Counter Style for further Footnote System

Please always give a Infominimal working example! The following works fine:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{alphalph}
\usepackage{manyfoot}
\DeclareNewFootnote{B}
\renewcommand{\thefootnoteB}{\alphalph{\value{footnoteB}}}

\begin{document}

Text\footnoteB{test\label{fn:test}} see footnote~\ref{fn:test}

\end{document}
