footnote reset in every page

Question

When using \footnote{text} in TeXnicCenter LaTeX, the number is reset in every new page. e.g:

• page one footnote 1,2,3
• page two footnote 1
• page three footnote 1,2,3
• ...

I want that the number associated with the footnote increment automatically in every chapter.

Answer 1

By default, LaTeX does not reset the footnote number on every page (see example below). Could it be that your preamble includes \usepackage[perpage]{footmisc}?

\documentclass{report}

\usepackage{blindtext}

% \usepackage[perpage]{footmisc}

\begin{document}

\chapter{first}

\blindtext[2]\footnote{bla}

\blindtext[2]\footnote{blubb}

\blindtext[2]\footnote{foo}

\chapter{second}

\blindtext[2]\footnote{bar}

\end{document}

Answer 2

I just find a solution with help of chngcntr package.

\documentclass{report}

\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithin*{footnote}{page}

\begin{document}
Make a footnote\footnote{1st}
\newpage
Make a footnote\footnote{2nd}
Make a footnote\footnote{3rd}
\newpage
Make a footnote\footnote{4th}
Make a footnote\footnote{5th}
\end{document}
