I'm editing a thesis using XeLaTeX. In some pages there are at least two footnotes and sometimes one of them ends with a filled line (I'm not sure this is the best name), so there is an empty line before the next footnote, as shown in the figure .
The author of the thesis doesn't like that empty line; is there any way of avoiding those lines?
Edit: a MWE which shows the same problem, but also that the blank line does not always shows up.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[nopar]{lipsum}
\begin{document}
This is a sentence.\footnote{ \lipsum[1] } This is another sentence.\footnote{ \lipsum[2] }
This is another paragraph.\footnote{\lipsum*[3]} This is yet another sentence.\footnote{ \lipsum[4] }
\end{document}
In the thesis I could get rid of the blank lines by removing a trailing space in the first footnote, as suggested by @David Carlisle. Why isn't there an empty line between footnotes 1 and 2 of the MWE?
\documentclass{...}
and ending with\end{document}
.word\footnote{aaa} \footnote{bbb}
with a space (or newline) between the footnotes. doword\footnote{aaa}\footnote{bbb}
nopar
option oflipsum
. This is what you want, normally: no blank space between footnotes. If you do need/want it, you can modify the footnote-related command(s) in various ways. Note: using\footnote{ \lipsum[1] }
gives two spurious spaces in your output; don't do it: write instead\footnote{\lipsum[1]}
. Whitespace is important in (La)TeX and rarely ignored.lipsum
