Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ cross referencing footnote

[pierre92]

Hi all,

My template: legrand orange book

I have tried to cross-reference footnotes but had no luck so far. My footnotes are non-consecutive and numbered with arabic numbers and yes, I do need to cross-reference footnotes dynamically.

I have tried to add a \label{note:note1} inside the target footnote, and to call it with either \footref{note:note1} or with \footnoteref{note:note1}. In both cases, the compiler pdfLaTex gives me a "Undefined control sequence" which seems to indicate it's as puzzled as I am.

Code: Select all

This is a text\footnote{\label{note:note1} With an interesting footnote.}, but this is a picture\footnote{not quite but who cares}. The question remains as to what this is\footref{note1}

I could not find an example of how to do that in the template, just how to make a footnote. Any ideas ?

Thanks

You are thinking too complicated

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
a lot to say about walzing wombat\footnote{not about lazy
leguans\label{fn:ll}}

See details in footnote~\ref{fn:ll}
\end{document}

Indeed, it was way too complicated. Thanks a lot!

\footref isn't a standard LaTeX macro. So depending on the class and packages you're using it is no surprise that you're getting errors. KOMA-Script classes and memoir do have a \footref, though, see Reference different places to the same footnote on TeX.sx.
