I was wandering if there's a way to make only one footnote appear with a symbol (*) instead of the number.
Thanks!!!

, say), you can redefine \@xfootnote
:
\documentclass{article}
%\setlength{\textheight}{.3\textheight} Just for this example
\makeatletter
\def\@xfootnote[#1]{%
\protected@xdef\@thefnmark{#1}%
\@footnotemark\@footnotetext}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
This is a\footnote{Regular footnote} piece of text.
This is a\footnote[*]{Different footnote} piece of text.
This is a\footnote{Regular footnote} piece of text.
This is a\footnote{Regular footnote} piece of text.
This is a\footnote[$\dagger$]{Different footnote} piece of text.
This is a\footnote{Regular footnote} piece of text.
This is a\footnote[$\star$]{Different footnote} piece of text.
\end{document}
\textdagger
and something like \textasteriskcentered
or one of bbding
’s or pifont
’s stars instead of the math mode versions?

hyperref
on my end (with hyperfootnotes=true
). Is there a particular reason to expect clashes?

hyperref
can easily wreak havoc. I thought you had identified a specific clash, though. I didn’t check thoroughly, either, but, for what it’s worth, I identified no error message in the console and the output looked very nice. The custom symbols even had clickable hyperlinks attached to them! This is an elegant solution, thank you very much!

hyperref
or any packages that modifies the display/formatting of footnotes? – Werner Feb 6 '14 at 18:46
