How can I insert two footnotes in the section headings? 

\chapter[aaa]{aaa\protect\footnotemark\footnotemark}

\footnotetext{some text1}
\footnotetext{some text2}

When I use this syntax, I come up with a 12 appearing on the top of aaa (without any comma between 1 and 2) and both of the footnotes on the bottom of the page are numbered 2!

How can I change the numbers to symbols in the footnote?

    If possible, don't footnote titles; one footnote to a title is already too much, two are evil. I know this is used in some academic fields, but from a typographic point of view (and from the reader's point of view too) this is really bad.

  • @egreg -- i agree about the undesirability of footnotes in titles. but what is an acceptable alternative, if a citation or reference must be given?

  • @barbarabeeton The first paragraph, for instance. Of course no footnote would be even better.

With the multiple and symbol options of the footmisc package.

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[multiple,symbol]{footmisc}
\begin{document}
\chapter[aaa]{aaa\footnote{First note.}\footnote{Second note.}}
\end{document}

  • Thanks for the prompt reply! Yet the problem is partly solved. When I use this syntax, only the second footnote is displayed at the bottom of the page!
