(The +package is "experimental" because it's lacking at least one obvious +facility; no reports of problems in actual use have been received.) + +The package defines a single command, \DeclareFixedFootnote, which +takes an optional *, and two `ordinary' arguments. + +If the optional * is present, the command declared has an \xspace +command (from the xspace package) imbedded in it, so that spaces +following the fixed footnote in running text tend not to be lost. + +The first ordinary argument is a command name. +The second ordinary argument is the fixed text of the footnote. + +\DeclareFixedFootnote will then define the command to produce the +footnote, or to a link to an existing copy of the fixed footnote on +the same page. + +e.g., \DeclareFixedFootnote*{\sic}{\emph{sic}} + \DeclareFixedFootnote{\prooflater}{This theorem will be proved + later} + +The package works by exchanging information with itself via the .aux +file. Just as with labels (and per-page footnote numbers in +footmisc), the user ordinarily needs to run latex at least twice. + +The package does not (yet) have the ability to warn the user that +another run of latex is still necessary. Some evidence of user demand +would be necessary to encourage me to invest effort in getting LaTeX +to give that warning. + +Robin Fairbairns +afterthought, of 2009-07-20 + +$Id: README,v 1.2 2009/07/20 12:45:45 rf10 Exp rf10 $ diff --git a/Master/tlpkg/bin/tlpkg-ctan-check b/Master/tlpkg/bin/tlpkg-ctan-check index 81087ff1684..87fda669940 100755 --- a/Master/tlpkg/bin/tlpkg-ctan-check +++ b/Master/tlpkg/bin/tlpkg-ctan-check @@ -101,7 +101,7 @@ my @WorkingTLP = qw( faktor fancybox fancyhdr fancynum fancyref fancytooltips fancyvrb FAQ-en fbs featpost feyn feynmf fge figbas figflow filecontents fink first-latex-doc - fixme fixpdfmag + fixfoot fixme fixpdfmag flagderiv flippdf float floatrow flowfram fltpoint fmtcount fn2end fnbreak fncychap foekfont fontch fontinst fontools fontspec fonttable -- cgit v1.2.3
