Sure, you can create as many footnote levels as you like, as shown in the example below. You can also create a footnoteD
from within footnoteB
, but watch out, this can screw up the sorting of the footnotes quite badly. So please, think of your poor reader and don't skip levels, and keep the footnote'ception to a minimum.
PS: the %
at the end of each line is to prevent LaTeX from adding a space between the end of the text and the footnote symbol
