reset counter when using \LTRfootnote from bidi package

Question

I'm using xepersian package for my Persian job, and I would like the footnote counter to automatically restart from '1' for each page of my document when I using \LTRfootnote command, but footmisc package not work with this command.

Answer 1

The best possible choice is to use zref-perpage package from zref bundle. It provides a \zmakeperpage[<reset>]{<counter>} command to force a counter reset with each page. Therefore adding

\zmakeperpage{footnote}

in your preamble will do the job. A mwe is as follows:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xepersian}
\usepackage{zref-perpage}
\zmakeperpage{footnote} 
\begin{document}
سلام~\footnote{یک پانویس}. همچنین\LTRfootnote{A footnote}.\par
سلام~\footnote{یک پانویس}. همچنین\LTRfootnote{A footnote}.
\newpage
سلام~\footnote{یک پانویس}. همچنین\LTRfootnote{A footnote}.\par
سلام~\footnote{یک پانویس}. همچنین\LTRfootnote{A footnote}.

\end{document}

Another example without persian scripts, but still with presence of XePersian package is:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xepersian}
\usepackage{zref-perpage}
\zmakeperpage{footnote} 
\begin{document}
\begin{latin}
Hello\footnote{Hi} world\LTRfootnote{Everyone!}!\par
Hello\footnote{Hi} world\LTRfootnote{Everyone!}!
\newpage
Hello\footnote{Hi} world\LTRfootnote{Everyone!}!\par
Hello\footnote{Hi} world\LTRfootnote{Everyone!}!
\end{latin}
\end{document}

BTW: The reason for footmisc not to works is that xepersian depends on bidi package (by the same author) for bidirectional typesetting; and bidi has extensive features for footnotes and it might conflict with some macros of footmisc.

You can also use perpage package, but it requires two runs of xelatex.
