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.
