Footnote separator

Question

How can I remove the separator line between the footnotes and the text?

Answer 1

\renewcommand*\footnoterule{}

Answer 2

Another option is \usepackage[norule]{footmisc}.

(One may also want to use the bottom option of the footmisc package -- this will place footnotes below bottom floats, contrary to LaTeX's default behaviour.)

EDIT: If you're using a KOMA-script class, yet another option is \setfootnoterule{0pt}. (The command syntax is \setfootnoterule[<height>]{<length>}; the command was added in KOMA-script v3.06.)
