-<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label repfootnote</title>
-</head><body>
-<h3>Footnotes whose texts are identical</h3>
-<p/>If the <em>same</em> footnote turns up at several places within a
-document, it&#8217;s often inappropriate to repeat the footnote in its
-entirety over and over again. We can avoid repetition by
-semi-automatic means, or by simply labelling footnotes that we know
-we&#8217;re going to repeat and then referencing the result. There is no
-completely automatic solution (that detects and suppresses repeats)
-available.
-<p/>If you know you only have one footnote, which you want to repeat, the
-solution is simple: merely use the optional argument of
-<code>\</code><code>footnotemark</code> to signify the repeats:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-...\footnote{Repeating note}
-...
-...\footnotemark[1]
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-&#8230; which is very easy, since we know there will only ever be a
-footnote number 1. A similar technique can be used once the footnotes
-are stable, reusing the number that LaTeX has allocated. This can
-be tiresome, though, as any change of typesetting could change the
-relationships of footnote and repeat: labelling is inevitably better.
-<p/>Simple hand-labelling of footnotes is possible, using a counter dedicated
-to the job:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\newcounter{fnnumber}
-...
-...\footnote{Text to repeat}%
-\setcounter{fnnumber}{\thefootnote}%
-...
-...\footnotemark[\thefnnumber]
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-but this is somewhat tedious. LaTeX&#8217;s labelling mechanism can be
-summoned to our aid, but there are ugly error messages before the
-<code>\</code><code>ref</code> is resolved on a second run through LaTeX:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-...\footnote{Text to repeat\label{fn:repeat}}
-...
-...\footnotemark[\ref{fn:repeat}]
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-Alternatively, one may use the <code>\</code><code>footref</code> command, which has the
-advantage of working even when the footnote mark isn&#8217;t expressed as a
-number. The command is defined in the <i>footmisc</i> package and
-in the <i>memoir</i> class (at least); <code>\</code><code>footref</code> reduces the above
-example to:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-...\footnote{Text to repeat\label{fn:repeat}}
-...
-...\footref{fn:repeat}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-This is the cleanest simple way of doing the job. Note that the
-<code>\</code><code>label</code> command <em>must</em> be inside the argument of
-<code>\</code><code>footnote</code>.
-<p/>The <i>fixfoot</i> package takes away some of the pain of the
-matter: you declare footnotes you&#8217;re going to reuse, typically in the
-preamble of your document, using a <code>\</code><code>DeclareFixedFoot</code> command, and
-then use the command you&#8217;ve &#8216;declared&#8217; in the body of the document:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\DeclareFixedFootnote{\rep}{Text to repeat}
-...
-...\rep{}
-...\rep{}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-The package ensures that the repeated text appears at most once per
-page: it will usually take more than one run of LaTeX to get rid of
-the repeats.
