This question is an extension of How to Make Bold the Footnotemarks Appearing After the Footnote Line
Starting with the code from Werner's excellent answer which makes bold the footnotemarks after the footnote line, I am adding
\usepackage{scrextend}
\deffootnote[.35in]{.5in}{.195in}{\makebox[.5in][r]{\thefootnotemark.\hspace{.1in}}}
to augment the space between the bold footnotemarks and their associated text.
However, when I run the code
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\@makefntext}% <cmd>
{\@makefnmark}% <search>
{\let\normalfont\bfseries\@makefnmark}% <replace>
{}{}% <success><failure>
\makeatother
\usepackage{scrextend}
\deffootnote[.35in]{.5in}{.195in}{\makebox[.5in][r]{\thefootnotemark.\hspace{.1in}}}
\begin{document}
\noindent A sentence.\footnote{Footnote A.}
Another sentence.\footnote{Footnote B.}
Another sentence.\footnote{Footnote C.}
\end{document}
I get the spacing adjustment I am looking for---but the footnotemarks are no longer bold.
Remark: I have discovered that when I run Werner's code with only the package scrextend
added, the footnotemarks are no longer bold:
QUESTION: Are the packages etoolbox
and scrextend
incompatible? (and) How may I increase the horizontal spacing between each footnotemark and its text for each such mark below the footnote line?
Thank you.
