How do I refer to a footnote? For example, if is constructed like this
blah blah blah blah\footnote{blah blah \label{footnote_1}}
would you refer to it using this line?
As mentioned in note \ref{footnote_1}.

would you refer to it using this line?
As mentioned in note \ref{footnote_1}.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{footmisc}
\begin{document}
argument of the footnote command that is being
labelled\footnote{Note text\label{fnlabel}}
potato head\footref{fnlabel}
\end{document}
\ref{...}
instead of \footref{...}
if you want the number to be printed inline rather than as superscript. Also, \pageref{...}
works to refer to the page the footnote is printed on.
It also works with the all-powerful cleveref
(instead of footmisc
):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{cleveref}
\begin{document}
Here is some real nondescript text\footnote{What a qualifier\label{xxx}}
Then I can refer later to \cref{xxx} (\Cpageref{xxx})
\end{document}
hyperref
can work with footmisc
if you load hyperref
with the option [hyperfootnotes=false]
, which turns off links to footers, or load hyperref
after footmisc
. But I agree, cleveref
is much more clever :)
