Page Layout ⇒ Line spacing in footnotes varying with environment

[pablofaria]

Hi all.

I tried google until I get tired, but I didn't find any help there. I'm writing a dissertation, using "book" document style. The overall line spacing is set to double (by a \doublespacing command right after \mainmatter). My problem is that footnotes are just crazy. According to the information available (see http://albertskblog.blogspot.com/2007/1 ... t-you.html), they should keep to singlespacing (that's what I want: doublespace for normal text, single for footnote, quotes, etc.). But, whenever a footnote is set within normal text, its linespacing is doubled. When set within a singlespace environment, it is changed to singlespace. There are cases where there are two footnotes on the same page, with different linespaces!!!

So, any ideas?

thanks!

I can't comprehend that problem.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[doublespacing]{setspace}
\usepackage{blindtext}

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

  \singlespacing
  \blindtext\footnote{\blindtext}
\end{document}

Best regards and welcome to the board

Please, post a minimal working example so that it can be tested. I don't see the problem neither. However, you may try using the package footmisc which should certainly prevent that strange behaviour.

Thanks everybody. Thorsten, based on your example I could isolate the problem. It was a package ("gb4e") that was causing the problem. I could fix the problem in the package code and it's all ok now. Thanks a lot!
