I need to put a rather long list of names in a footnote. They can't be properly hyphenated and do not break into pretty lines, so leaving the right side of text ragged seems a perfect solution to me.
However, I was surprised when \footnote{\raggedright ABC}
did not work out. \RaggedRight
from ragged2e package fails too as well as \usepackage[ragged]{footmisc}
.
I'm using memoir as a document style, so I tried plain article instead... and \raggedright
started working as expected.
\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{memoir}
%\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{article}
\begin{document}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor
incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.\footnote{\raggedright Ut enim ad
minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea
commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit
esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.} Excepteur sint occaecat upidatat

I suspect memoir's footnote series are the cause, but their source code is, ugh... complex.
So, a question: how do a I make a certain footnote left-justified with memoir?
