+<h3>Footnotes numbered "per page"</h3>
+<p>The obvious solution is to make the footnote number reset whenever the
+page number is stepped, using the
+<a href="FAQ-addtoreset.html">LaTeX internal mechanism</a>. Sadly, the place
+in the document where the page number is stepped is unpredictable, not
+("tidily") at the end of the printed page; so the link only ever
+works by luck.
+<p>As a result, resetting footnotes is inevitably a two-pass process,
+using labels of some sort. It's nevertheless important, given the
+common requirement for footnotes marked by symbols (with painfully
+small symbol sets). There are three packages that manage it, one way
+or another.
+<p>The <i>footnpag</i> package does per-page footnotes and nothing
+else.
+<p>The <i>perpage</i> package provides a general mechanism for
+resetting counters per page, so can obviously be used for this task.
+The interface is pretty simple: <code>\</code><code>MakePerPage{footnote}</code> will
+do the job. If you want to restart the counter at something other
+than 1 (for example to avoid something in the LaTeX footnote symbol
+list), you can use: <code>\</code><code>MakePerPage[2]{footnote}</code>.
+<p>The <i>footmisc</i> package provides a variety of means of
+controlling footnote appearance, among them a package option
+<code>perpage</code> that adjusts the numbering per page.
+<p>Documentation of <i>footnpag</i> comes as a <code>.dvi</code> file
+<i>footnpag-user</i> in the distribution. Documentation of
+<i>perpage</i> appears in the package file, only: however, it
+amounts to no more than appears above\dots
