Page Layout ⇒ More space for footnotes (memoir)

[bakalamaka]

Hi everyone,

I am having a small issue with my footnotes. The space LaTeX reserves for them at the bottom of the page is rather small, and the footnotes get split into multiple pages after two lines of text. I would like to reserve more space for the footnotes. Ideally, the footnote area should flexibly "grow" to accommodate at least N lines of text. Unfortunately, no solutions I could find via google did work for me (\interfootnotelinepenalty does not). I am using the memoir class — I could not find an appropriate parameter in the manual neither.

Thanks!

I personally can't comprehend that problem.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{memoir}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\parindent0em

\begin{document}
  \blindtext\footnote{\blindtext}

  \medskip
  \blindtext[5]
\end{document}

A you can see, this example works flawlessly.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thank you for the example! Very interesting... my footnote contained some citations and a bit of math... I completely deleted it and rewrote it anew, with a slightly different wording. Now it works
