I am writing a document with \documentclass[11pt, twocolumn]{paper}
In this document I am using a lot of \footnote{}
. For the sake of having a neat lay-out I want the footnotes to span over both columns (so a single column footnote in a twocolumn document).
The only sollution I found online was using \usepackage{multicol}
and \begin{2}{multicolumn}
This did work, however the multicol
package causes a lot of other issues with other floats in my document, so I am looking for a different solution. Below is a working example
\documentclass[11pt, twocolumn]{paper}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1] \footnote{\lipsum[2]} \lipsum
\end{document}
Please see the intended result in green:
p.s. This question is asked numerous times on several forums, however all of them have remained unanswered, so I figure I would try again myself.
p.p.s. There is also a solution involving \mathfootnote but this does not seem to work for normal footnotes
