LaTeX +could try to salvage this problem by making the page short of both the +footnote and the line with the footnote mark, but its priorities told +it that splitting the footnote would be preferable. +<p/>As always, the best solution is to change your text so that the +problem doesn’t occur in the first place. Consider whether the text +that bears the footnote could move earlier in the current page, or on +to the next page. +<p/>If this isn’t possible, you might want to change LaTeX’s perception +of its priorities: they’re controlled by +<code>\</code><code>interfootnotelinepenalty</code> — the larger it is, the less willing +LaTeX is to split footnotes. +<p/>Setting +<blockquote> +<pre> +\interfootnotelinepenalty=10000 +</pre> +</blockquote><p> +inhibits split footnotes altogether, which will cause ‘<code>Underfull</code> +<code>\</code><code>vbox</code>’ messages unless you also specify <code>\</code><code>raggedbottom</code>. The +default value of the penalty is <code>100</code>, which is rather mild. +<p/>An alternative technique is to juggle with the actual size of the +pages. <code>\</code><code>enlargethispage</code> changes the size of the current page by +its argument (for example, you might say +<code>\</code><code>enlargethispage{<code>\</code><code>baselineskip</code>}</code> to add a single line +to the page, but you can use any ordinary TeX length such as +<code>15mm</code> or <code>-20pt</code> as argument). Reducing the size of +the current page could force the offending text to the next page; +increasing the size of the page may allow the footnote to be included +in its entirety. It may be necessary to change the size of more than +one page. +<p/>The <i>fnbreak</i> package detects (and generates warnings about) +split footnotes. +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>fnbreak.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fnbreak.zip">macros/latex/contrib/fnbreak</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fnbreak.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fnbreak/">browse</a>) +</dl> +<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=splitfoot">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=splitfoot</a> +</body> |
