Consider the code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
%\setlength{\footnotesep}{15pt}
\begin{document}
A sentence.\footnote{\lipsum*[31]}
A sentence.\footnote{\lipsum*[31]}
\end{document}
which produces the footnotes:
When I rerun the code using \setlength{\footnotesep}{15pt}
, I get
As you can see, the spacing between two consecutive footnotes is equivalent to the space between the footnote line and the first footnote.
But I would like to be able to separately adjust the space between (1) the footnote line and the first footnote, and (2) the space between the footnotes themselves.
QUESTION: Say that I would like to have a 10pt space for (1) and a 5pt space between consecutive footnotes. Is there a way to simply accomplish this?
Thank you.
