Continuous footnote numbering

Question

I would like footnote numbering to continue over pages and chapters. In my document it's reset every chapter. I'm using the report documentclass.

Answer 1

Use \counterwithout.

\documentclass{report}

\counterwithout{footnote}{chapter}

\begin{document}

\chapter{foo}

Some text.\footnote{The first footnote.}

\chapter{bar}

Some text.\footnote{The second footnote.}

\end{document}
