General ⇒ Dag footnote?

[latexforever]

Hello everybody,

I sometimes see in scientific documents on the first author a footnote with a dag, the same with the second, but with a ddag.

How can I do this? Thanks!

The footmisc package allows you to redefine the footnote symbol series:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{footmisc}
\DefineFNsymbols{test}{\dagger\ddagger}
\setfnsymbol{test}

\begin{document}
\title{Test}
\author{Author 1\thanks{Institution 1} \and Author 2\thanks{Institution 2}}
\maketitle
\end{document}

Thanks for your answer; it is was I was looking for.

The problem is that I don't write my title using

Code: Select all

\title{}

and

Code: Select all

\maketitle

, because I've got a titlepage environment:

Code: Select all

\begin{titlepage}
 
\begin{center}


% Upper part of the page
 
\textsc{\LARGE UNIVERSIT\'E DE LIÈGE}\\[1.5cm]

\includegraphics[width=0.50\textwidth]{_img/logo_coul_texte_blason_cadre.ps}\\[1cm]
 
% Title
%\HRule \\[0.4cm]
\rule{\textwidth}{1pt}\par
\vspace{0.50cm}
{ \huge \bfseries TITLE}\\[0.4cm]
\rule{\textwidth}{1pt}\par
%\HRule \\[1.5cm]

\vfill

% Author
\Large{\textsc{Merciadri\thanks{me@server.com}} Luca}
\vfill

Belgium


\vfill

% Bottom of the page
{\large \today}
 
\end{center}



\end{titlepage}

Is there anyway a solution?

Thanks.

You can use the titling package to configure the title page in a compatible manner:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[titlepage]{article}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{footmisc}
\usepackage{titling}

\DefineFNsymbols{test}{\dagger\ddagger}
\setfnsymbol{test}

\renewcommand*{\maketitlehooka}{%
	\begin{center}%
	{\LARGE\MakeUppercase{Université de Liège}\par}%
	\vspace{1.5cm}%
	\rule{\textwidth}{1pt}\par
	\vspace{0.5cm}%
}

\pretitle{\huge\bfseries}
\posttitle{\par}

\renewcommand*{\maketitlehookb}{%
	\vspace{0.4cm}
	\rule{\textwidth}{1pt}\par
	\vfill
}

\preauthor{\Large}
\postauthor{\par}

\renewcommand*{\maketitlehookc}{%
	\vfill
	{\Large Belgium\par}%
	\vfill
}

\predate{\large}
\postdate{\par}

\renewcommand*{\maketitlehookd}{\end{center}}
