Chris Rowley came up with a working +version a few days later, but it still needs thorough testing. + + +\section{The Style:} + +This \LaTeX\ style changes the way \LaTeX\ does footnotes. With this +style invoked (\verb+\documentstyle[fnpara]{article}+), footnotes will +be typeset in a running paragraph, instead of one above another. +It is suitable for texts such as critical editions, which contain +many short footnotes. + +This is based on the \TeX\ macros described by Knuth in the +\TeX book, Dirty Tricks, pages~398--400. It is not tested beyond +some simple examples. In particular, it has not been tested +properly in connection with even the simplest of environments, nor with +other floats. + +(In fact, ordinary LaTeX footnotes sometimes do not work well +if they need splitting (e.\,g.\ producing blank pages, +or appearing in shufled form): but these +problems should not affect this style. +I --CR-- have sent in a Bug Report about some +of these problems.) + +Be aware of Knuth's note on the limitations of this method of +doing the job: the \TeX\ stack is used four times per footnote, +and the stack is limited (\TeX book pp.~300--301). So if you have +very many footnotes (in the hundreds) and encounter +% +\begin{verbatim} +"! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [... save size ...]" +\end{verbatim} +% +errors, you may need to break your text into smaller sections. +Fortunately, this is very easy to do with \LaTeX. And the +footnote counter can be reset to make the joins seamless. + + +\section{Authors} + +\KOMAoption{parskip}{half} +\selectfont +Chris Rowley\\ +Office tel: (England) 01 794 0575\\ +Janet: \verb+CA_ROWLEY@UK.AC.OPEN.ACS.VAX+ + +Dominik Wujastyk\\ +Office tel: (England) 01 387 4477 x 3013\\ +Janet: \verb+Wujastyk@UK.AC.UCL.EUCLID+ + +October 3, 1988 + +\bigskip + +Modified 11/12/95\\ +Updated with new copies of relevant definitions from base files, and +added definitions for paragraph footnotes inside minipages + +Bradley Smith\\ +(612) 624--1535\\ +\mail{basmith@prometheus.chem.umn.edu} + +\end{document} -- cgit v1.2.3
