It may be used with all standard document classes (and I assume +with all other well written ones). `Numbering' here does not only mean +supplying Arabic numbers, if your class or another package sets up +appropriate symbols, they are used instead. + +You just have to use the |footnpag| package, the rest will happen +automagically. You will need two \LaTeX{} runs, as with cross +references or citations. + + +\sect \textsl{Known Problems}. + +\medskip + +\noindent Unlike with references, \LaTeX{} will not issue a warning if +a footnote number is incorrect due to new page breaks. Thus run +\LaTeX{} always another time if you want a final document. + +This is scheduled to change in the next revision. + + +\sect An auxiliary file is used, named \textit{jobname}|.fot|. This is +not necessary by itself, it would have been better to use the +|aux| file. (Actually, this package was written for plain \TeX{} +originally, there is no |aux| file there.) + +This is also scheduled to change in the next revision. In fact, it's +the same problem like the previous one: When I use the |aux| file, +\LaTeX{}'s warning mechanism can be utilized. + + +\sect There is no possibility to change the number that's used for the +first footnote on a page. + +Some people like to start their footnotes with~`0', there exists even +a package for that named |zero|. |footnpag| should cooperate with that +package. + +If one uses symbols as footnote markers, the first footnote is marked +with an asterisk. One might want to use a dagger instead, that's not +possible currently. + +Most probably this feature will be made available via the new +``keyword-value'' option scheme, as you'll find it in the |graphicx| +package. + + + + +\endSubDocument + + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + +\vskip \PltxPreSectSkip + +\begin{rcslog} +$DocLog: footnpag-user.tex,v $ +\Revision 2.1 1995/08/04 00:18:33 schrod +Made a \LaTeXe{} package from this style option. + +User manual is a separate document now, that's better for +installation.
