I know the para option of the footmisc
package. I also know how to define seperate kinds of footnotes with manyfoot
and that this package has the para option as well.
I am looking for a way to combine standard and para footnotes within the same counter in order to swith between them. Why? There is a scientific essay with some long footnotes and a lot of simple page-numbers or "ibd."s.
That is why I am imagining something like:
(1) long footnote long footnotelong footnotelong footnotelong footnotelong footnotelong footnotelong footnotelong footnotelong footnotelong footnotelong footnotelong footnote (Kruger 2011, 65).
(2) Ibd. (3) Ibd. (4) Ibd.
(5) next long footnotenext long footnotenext long footnotenext long footnotenext long footnotenext long footnotenext long footnotenext long footnotenext long footnote.
PS: No, right at this moment it is no option to place the ibd.s in brackets in the main text.
bigfoot
, which is in many ways an improvement ofmanyfoot
, tries to do this automatically for thepara
option. Unfortunately, it is not perfect. In my opinion, this is a real desideratum for footnotes in LaTeX, but, even more unfortunately, I'm not the person likely to solve this problem... However, your question just shows plain paragraphed footnotes, which is at odds with your question. Should the "(1) ... long footnote." paragraph be changed..?bigfoot
does what i want, I even found out that I can determine to begin a new paragraph with\footnote+{}
. Do you know how to do the opposite, to determine that a note should be set in the same paragraph (instead of beginning a new one)? I did not find this case.bigfoot
