+\begin{document}

+\maketitle
+
+\section{History:}
+
+A vain attempt at this \LaTeX\ modification was tried in late
+September 1988 by Dominik Wujastyk, and sent to \TeX hax and UK\TeX\ %
+for comment. 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.
