I have a document so far typed article
, using manyfoot
, also its perpage
option, which I want to add to a journal of memoir
class, together with more contributions by other authors. When taking this document as it is I, the first time I compile it it keeps stopping at footnote commands with Counter too large
errors for many times, after that I have to run it another four or five times until it stops giving me Label(s) may have changed. Rerun to get cross-references right.
-warnings. Now when I change the document type to memoir
class, I get no errors on the first run, but the label warnings, which also don't stop even after ten runs. The document uses \footnote
(about 25 occurances, probably not relevant(?)) , \footnoteA
(about 50) and \footnoteB
(about 250), set up as follows:
\usepackage[perpage,ruled,para]{manyfoot}
\DeclareNewFootnote{A}[alph]
\DeclareNewFootnote[para]{B}
In a MWE this problem did not appear, probably it needs a considerable amount of footnotes to arise. Is there a known incompatibility between manyfoot and memoir? Should I better switch to another package for dealing with the footnotes, or would memoir
's builtin footnotes suffice?
Another point I'm concerned about here is that the footnote setup is done in the preamble. As I'm dealing with more contributions, some others also using manyfoot, this, as I understand it, would make it impossible for each of them to have their own footnote setup, which they need, unless I first compile them separately and glue them together with pdfpages
, which again would make TOC and page numbering more difficult. I guess this is a general point affecting also other aspects apart from the footnotes...
manyfoot
is usually not advised: usuallybigfoot
is the better choice (syntax mostly identical); here it'd probably need to be combined with thealphalph
package. But without an MWE, I'm not prepared to say more. – jon Mar 21 '15 at 19:31bigfoot
solves it.alphalph
doesn't seem to be needed, theres's no page with more than five or so alphabetical footnotes. – muk.li Mar 21 '15 at 22:18
