As a side effect a new method of creating multiple footnotes and some other features are provided.}} \makeindex \begin{document} \section{License and Requirements} \fnpct is placed under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License, version 1.3 or later (\url{http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt}). It has the status \enquote{maintained}. \fnpct depends on the \paket{l3kernel} and \paket*{xparse} which is part of the \paket{l3packages} bundle. \section{What's it all about?} \subsection{Basics}\secidx{basics} The \fnpct package basically does two things to footnotes: if footnote marks are followed by a comma or a full stop the order of footnote and punctuation mark is reversed and the kerning gets adjusted. As a side effect a new method of creating multiple footnotes\footnote{like;this} is provided, see section \ref{sec:multiple} for details. In what way is the kerning adjusted? After being placed behind the punctuation mark the footnote mark is moved a little bit back, namely by the amount specified with the option \key{after-punct-space} (see section \ref{sec:options}). If the footnote mark follows a word \emph{without} being followed by a punctuation% \footnote{Well, it does not necessarily have to follow a \emph{word}. The important point is \emph{not being followed} by a punctuation mark.}, there (obviously) is no order switching and a little space is inserted before the footnote mark, namely the amount specified by the option \key{before-footnote-space} (see section \ref{sec:options}). All examples in this documentation use \setapart{\cmd{renewcommand}\cmd{thempfootnote}{\cmd{arabic}{mpfootnote}}}. Now, let's see some action: \begin{beispiel} \begin{minipage}{.4\linewidth} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\footnote{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\footnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\footnote{probably fired clay bricks}. \end{minipage} \end{beispiel} To ensure that the kerning is set the right way the footnote \emph{must} be placed \emph{before} the dot or the comma. \emph{The command can look ahead but not look back}. This means if you place the \cmd{footnote} command after a dot or a comma it is treated as if following a word, \ie a thin space is inserted: effectivly the opposite of the desired behaviour. The order-switching can be prevented using a package option since not all countries and languages have the same typographic conventions. \begin{beschreibung} \option{punct-after}{\default{true}/false} when \code{true} the punctuation sign will be placed \emph{after} the footnote. \end{beschreibung} Like all options it can also be set using the setup command. \begin{beschreibung} \befehl{setfnpct}{} set up options. Can be used anywhere in the document. Some options can only be set in the preamble, though. \end{beschreibung} \begin{beispiel} \setfnpct{punct-after} \begin{minipage}{.4\linewidth} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\footnote{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\footnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\footnote{probably fired clay bricks}. \end{minipage} \end{beispiel} \secidx*{basics} \subsection{Temporarily disable switching}\secidx{disable switching} One maybe want to put some footnote marks \emph{before} the punctuation and some after, for example because the first one describes a single word but the second one a whole sentence. For this purpose \fnpct adds a \code{*} argument to \cmd{footnote} and \cmd{footnotemark}: \begin{beschreibung} \befehl[footnotea]{footnote}*[]{} new \code{*} argument added. \befehl[footnotemarka]{footnotemark}*[] new \code{*} argument added. \end{beschreibung} This argument temporarily turns off the punctuation/footnote switching. \begin{beispiel} \begin{minipage}{.4\linewidth} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\footnote*{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\footnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\footnote{probably fired clay bricks}. \end{minipage} \end{beispiel} \secidx*{disable switching} \section{Options}\secidx{options}\label{sec:options} Most package options are listed below. They all can be set as a package option or with the \cmd{setfnpct} command. Most of them are for adjusting the kerning. \begin{beschreibung} \option{after-dot-space}{} space to be inserted after a dot and before the footnote mark. Default = \code{-.06em} \option{after-comma-space}{} space to be inserted after a comma and before the footnote mark. Default = \code{-.06em} \option{after-punct-space}{} set both spaces. \option{punct-after}{\default{true}/false} when \code{true} the punctuation sign will be placed \emph{after} the footnote. \option{before-dot-space}{} space to be inserted before a dot and after the footnote mark, \ie with \key{punct-after}{true}. Default = \code{-.15em} \option{before-comma-space}{} space to be inserted before a comma and after the footnote mark, \ie with \key{punct-after}{true}. Default = \code{-.15em} \option{before-punct-space}{} set both spaces. \option{before-footnote-space}{} space to be inserted between a word and the following footnote mark. Default = \code{.06em} \option{dont-mess-around} sets all mentioned lengths to \code{0} and \key{punct-after}{true}. Basically this is as if you hadn't loaded \fnpct except the multiple footnote command is still available, see section \ref{sec:multiple}. \option{multiple}{\default{true}/false} lets \cmd{footnote} be equal to \cmd{multfootnote} \option{mult-fn-delim}{} sets the delimiter for the \cmd{multfootnote} command. \option{mult-fn-sep}{} sets the separator between multiple footnote marks. \option{normal-marks}{\default{true}/false} sets the footnote marks in the foot not as superscripts but as normal font. If you're not using a \paket[koma-script]{KOMA-Script} class this option will load the package \paket*{scrextend}. See section \ref{sec:normal} for more information. \emph{This option can only be set in the preamble}. Default = \code{false} \end{beschreibung} Let's take a look at an example with some ridiculous settings: \begin{beispiel} % some ridiculous settings: \setfnpct{after-punct-space=2pt,before-footnote-space=2pt} \begin{minipage}{.4\linewidth} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\footnote{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\footnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\footnote{probably fired clay bricks}. \end{minipage} \end{beispiel} And now the same with switched order: \begin{beispiel} % some ridiculous settings: \setfnpct{punct-after,before-punct-space=2pt,before-footnote-space=2pt} \begin{minipage}{.4\linewidth} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\footnote{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\footnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\footnote{probably fired clay bricks}. \end{minipage} \end{beispiel} In case the automatic kerning doesn't work for whatever reason the spaces are available as user commands as well: \begin{beschreibung} \befehl{kfp} insert the \key{after-dot-space} or (if \key{punct-after}{true}) the \key{before-dot-space}. \befehl{kfc} insert the \key{after-comma-space} or (if \key{punct-after}{true}) the \key{before-comma-space}. \end{beschreibung} Some of the options are explained in a bit more detail in the next sections. \secidx*{options} \section{Multiple footnotes}\secidx{multiple footnotes}\label{sec:multiple} \subsection{Basics}\secidx[basics]{multiple footnotes} Since multiple footnotes have to be treated differently\footnote{see these footnotes;for an example}, \fnpct provides an extra command for that: \begin{beschreibung} \befehl{multfootnote}*{;;} different footnotes are separated with a semicolon. The \code{*} turns the footnote/punctuation switching temporarily off. \end{beschreibung} \begin{beispiel} \begin{minipage}{.4\linewidth} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\footnote{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\footnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\multfootnote{probably fired clay bricks;or something else}. \end{minipage} \end{beispiel} Every of the items of the list has an optional argument equivalent to the optional argument of \cmd{footnote}: \begin{beispiel} \begin{minipage}{.4\linewidth} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\footnote{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\footnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\multfootnote{probably fired clay bricks;[5]or something else}. \end{minipage} \end{beispiel} Additionally every item has an optional \code{*} which only invokes \cmd{footnotetext}. This enables for example to set nested footnotes\secidx[nested footnotes]{multiple footnotes} without disrupting the multiple setting. The following example is shown in figure \ref{fig:nested:mult}: \begin{beispiel}[code only] \documentclass{article} \usepackage[ paperwidth=.5\textwidth, paperheight=12\baselineskip, margin=5pt, bottom=1.5cm]{geometry} \usepackage[multiple]{fnpct} \begin{document} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\footnote{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\footnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\multfootnote{probably fired clay bricks% \footnotemark;*or something else;what do I know}. \end{document} \end{beispiel} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \fbox{\includegraphics{nested_ex.pdf}} \caption{nested footnotes}\label{fig:nested:mult} \end{figure} \subsection{The delimiter and separator}\secidx[delimiter]{multiple footnotes}\secidx[separator]{multiple footnotes} Since the semicolon might be part of the footnote text you might have some trouble. But there are ways around. Maybe try enclosing it with braces: \begin{beispiel} \begin{minipage}{.4\linewidth} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\footnote{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\footnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\multfootnote{probably fired clay bricks{;} or something else;what do I know}. \end{minipage} \end{beispiel} There are options which lets you choose the (input) delimiter and the (output) separator: \begin{beschreibung} \option{mult-fn-delim}{} choose delimiter for the \cmd{multfootnote}. Default = \code{;} \option{mult-fn-sep}{} choose the separator that is put between footnote marks. Default = \code{,} \end{beschreibung} \begin{beispiel} \setfnpct{mult-fn-delim=//,mult-fn-sep=;} \begin{minipage}[t]{.4\linewidth} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\footnote{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\footnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\multfootnote{probably fired clay bricks; or something else//what do I know}. \end{minipage}\hfil \setfnpct{mult-fn-delim=;,mult-fn-sep=} \renewcommand*\thempfootnote{\fnsymbol{mpfootnote}} \begin{minipage}[t]{.4\linewidth} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\footnote{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\footnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\multfootnote{probably fired clay bricks; or something else}. \end{minipage} \end{beispiel} \subsection{Automagic}\secidx[automagic]{multiple footnotes} If you want you can turn all footnotes into \cmd{multfootnote}s. \begin{beschreibung} \option{multiple}{\default{true}/false} let \cmd{footnote} behave like \cmd{multfootnote}. \emph{This option can only be set in the preamble}. Default = \code{false} \end{beschreibung} \begin{beispiel} % in preamble: \setfnpct{multiple} % or \usepackage[multiple]{fnpct} \begin{minipage}{.4\linewidth} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\footnote{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\footnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\footnote{probably fired clay bricks;or something else}. \end{minipage} \end{beispiel} \secidx*{multiple footnotes} \section{Nested Footnotes}\secidx{nested footnotes} \fnpct provides some support for nested footnotes. There are some restrictions, though. The command below can be used inside \cmd{footnote} and \cmd{multfootnote}, but not inside another \cmd{innernote}: \begin{beschreibung} \befehl{innernote}*[]{} a nested footnote. \end{beschreibung} The inner node uses a \cmd{footnotemark} internally and the mark will be set with the definition it has at begin document. The output of the following code can be seen in figure \ref{fig:nested:a}. \begin{beispiel}[code only] \documentclass{article} \usepackage[ paperwidth=.5\textwidth, paperheight=12\baselineskip, margin=5pt, bottom=1.5cm]{geometry} \usepackage{fnpct} \begin{document} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\footnote{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\footnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\footnote{probably fired clay bricks% \innernote{or not}}. \end{document} \end{beispiel} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \fbox{\includegraphics{nested_ex_a.pdf}} \caption{\cmd{innernote} example (a)}\label{fig:nested:a} \end{figure} This is especially useful if you have more than one additional footnote inside a footnote, a case that can't be solved in a satisfying (\ie automatic) way with the method mentioned in section \ref{sec:multiple}. See figure \ref{fig:nested:b} for the output of this code: \begin{beispiel}[code only] \documentclass{article} \usepackage[ paperwidth=.5\textwidth, paperheight=12\baselineskip, margin=5pt, bottom=1.5cm]{geometry} \usepackage{fnpct} \begin{document} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\footnote{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\footnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\footnote{probably\innernote{just guessing} fired clay bricks\innernote{or not}}. \end{document} \end{beispiel} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \fbox{\includegraphics{nested_ex_b.pdf}} \caption{\cmd{innernote} example (b)}\label{fig:nested:b} \end{figure} \cmd{innernote} can also be used to escape minipages. In this case use \cmd{innernote} as a replacement for \cmd{footnote} and call this command later: \begin{beschreibung} \befehl{writeinnernotes} writes all \cmd{footnotetext}s to the inner footnotes when invoked \end{beschreibung} See figure \ref{fig:nested:c} for the output of the following code: \begin{beispiel}[code only] \documentclass{article} \usepackage[ paperwidth=.5\textwidth, paperheight=12\baselineskip, margin=5pt, bottom=1.5cm]{geometry} \usepackage{fnpct} \begin{document} \noindent\fbox{% \begin{minipage}{.9\linewidth} The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\innernote{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\innernote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\innernote{probably}. \end{minipage}}\writeinnernotes \end{document} \end{beispiel} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \fbox{\includegraphics{nested_ex_c.pdf}} \caption{\cmd{innernote} example (c)}\label{fig:nested:c} \end{figure} \secidx*{nested footnotes} \section{Normal notes}\secidx{normal notes}\label{sec:normal} The package option \key{normal-marks} (see p.\,\pageref{key:normal-marks}) changes the layout of the footnote marks in the foot by using \paket[koma-script]{KOMA-Script}'s \setapart{\cmd{deffootnote}[]{}\ma{}\ma{}.} The following code is shown in figure \ref{fig:normal}. \begin{beispiel}[code only] \documentclass{article} \usepackage[ paperwidth=.5\textwidth, paperheight=12\baselineskip, margin=5pt, bottom=1.5cm]{geometry} \usepackage[normal-marks]{fnpct} \begin{document} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\footnote{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\footnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\footnote{probably fired clay bricks}. \end{document} \end{beispiel} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \fbox{\includegraphics{normal_ex.pdf}} \caption{Demonstration of the \key{normal-marks} option.} \label{fig:normal} \end{figure} The three indent values used by \fnpct can be changed with the following options: \begin{beschreibung} \option{normal-mark-width}{} The width of the box within which the marks are set. Default = \code{1em} \option{normal-indent}{} The indent of each footnote line \emph{except} the first. Default = \code{1.5em} \option{normal-par-indent}{} Additional indent of a new paragraph inside the footnote text. Default = \code{1em} \end{beschreibung} \secidx*{normal notes} \section{Other packages}\secidx{other packages}\label{sec:other:packages} \fnpct tries its best to support other footnote and related packages\footnote{If you find some package missing please let me know.}. Each of the following subsections is dedicated to one of these packages and if and how they work together with \fnpct. Fortunately most of them do quite well. \subsection{bigfoot}\label{ssec:bigfoot}\secidx[bigfoot]{other packages} The \paket{bigfoot} \cite{bigfoot} package extends the possibilities of the \paket{manyfoot} package \cite{manyfoot}, see section \ref{ssec:manyfoot}. The main feature is to use different classes of footnotes which are typeset in different apparatus on the bottom of the page. \fnpct is compatible with \paket{bigfoot}. You need to be a bit cautious, though. You need to \setapart{declare footnotes with \cmd{DeclareNewFootnote} \emph{after} loading \fnpct but in the document \emph{preamble}.} \emph{Also verbatim material won't work inside footnotes anymore}. Since \fnpct does not redefine any \cmd{footnotetext} like command it will still work inside one of them. For every footnote class defined with \cmd{DeclareNewFootnote} the commands \cmd{footnote} and \cmd{footnotemark} are redefined with the starred variant and a \cmd{multfootnote} is defined. The \key{multiple} option will turn all \cmd{footnote} commands into the corresponding \cmd{multfootnote}. \fnpct has an additional package option which \emph{cannot} be set with \cmd{setfnpct} and only has any effects if \paket{bigfoot} has been loaded: \begin{beschreibung} \option{bigfoot-default-top}{\default{true}/false} sets the \code{default} footnote class as top layer. Default = \code{false} \end{beschreibung} Since this document cannot easily combine \emph{every} footnote package at the same time for demonstration purposes the following code is shown in figure \ref{fig:bigfoot}: \begin{beispiel}[code only] \documentclass{article} \usepackage[ paperwidth=.5\textwidth, paperheight=12\baselineskip, margin=5pt, bottom=1.5cm]{geometry} \usepackage{bigfoot} \usepackage[bigfoot-default-top]{fnpct} \setfnpct{multiple} \DeclareNewFootnote[para]{B}[alph] \begin{document} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\footnote*{not to be confused with hay% \footnoteB{let alone grass}}, sticks\footnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks% \footnote{probably fired clay bricks;or something}. \end{document} \end{beispiel} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \fbox{\includegraphics{bigfoot_ex.pdf}} \caption{\paket*{bigfoot} example} \label{fig:bigfoot} \end{figure} \subsection{endnotes}\secidx[endnotes]{other packages} The \paket{endnotes} \cite{endnotes} package povides the commands \cmd{endnote} and \cmd{endnotemark} which can be used to output all notes at the end of a chapter, say. If the package is loaded both commands are adapted: \begin{beispiel}[code only] % `fnpct' does this for you: \AdaptNote\endnote\multendnote \AdaptNoteMark\endnotemark \end{beispiel} Everything else stays the same: \begin{beispiel} \begin{minipage}[t]{.4\linewidth} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\endnote{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\endnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\endnote{probably fired clay bricks}. \theendnotes \end{minipage}\hfil \begin{minipage}[t]{.4\linewidth} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\endnote*{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\endnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\multendnote{probably fired clay bricks;or something else}. \theendnotes \end{minipage} \end{beispiel} \subsection{fixfoot}\secidx[fixfoot]{other packages} The \paket{fixfoot} \cite{fixfoot} package provides a possibility to create repeating footnotes. \fnpct supports this package provided you take care of the following: \setapart{\cmd{DeclareFixedFootnote} only in the preamble but \emph{after} loading \fnpct.} \cmd{DeclareFixedFootnote}{\cmd{cs}}\ma{} is used to store the \ma{} in \cmd{cs} and create a footnote mark for it but don't repeat the footnote text on the same page in the bottom. The document needs several runs to get all the numbers and footnotes right. Every fixed footnote declared with \cmd{DeclareFixedFootnote} gets an optional \code{*} to prevent the punctuation switching. There is \emph{no} mult-variant of the fixed notes! Since this document cannot easily combine \emph{every} footnote package at the same time for demonstration purposes the following code is shown in figure \ref{fig:fixfoot}: \begin{beispiel}[code only] \documentclass{article} \usepackage[ paperwidth=.55\textwidth, paperheight=12\baselineskip, margin=5pt, bottom=1.5cm]{geometry} \usepackage{fixfoot} \usepackage{fnpct} \DeclareFixedFootnote{\myfn}{I'm confused: what do I want to say?} \begin{document} \noindent The three little pigs\myfn\ built their houses out of straw\myfn*, sticks\footnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\footnote{probably fired clay bricks}. \end{document} \end{beispiel} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \fbox{\includegraphics{fixfoot_ex.pdf}} \caption{\paket*{fixfoot} example} \label{fig:fixfoot} \end{figure} \subsection{footmisc}\label{ssec:manyfoot}\secidx[footmisc]{other packages} The \paket{footmisc} package \cite{footmisc} provides a range of options to customize footnotes, for example output them as margin notes or count footnotes per page. Testing showed no incompatibilities with \paket{footmisc}. The only thing is that you won't have to use its \code{multiple} option. \subsection{footnote}\secidx[footnote]{other packages} Unfortunately \fnpct is not compatible with the \paket{footnote} package \cite{footnote}. Or more precisely it is not compatible if the command pair \cmd{savenotes}/\cmd{spewnotes} is invoked. This disables \paket{footnote}'s environments as well as its environment escaping mechanism through \cmd{makesavenoteenv}. \subsection{manyfoot}\secidx[manyfoot]{other packages} The \paket{manyfoot} package \cite{manyfoot} is not and will not directly be supported. It is loaded by \paket{bigfoot} (see section \ref{ssec:bigfoot}), anyway. And since the latter states this in its documentation \begin{zitat}[David Kastrup \cite{bigfoot}] Purpose of this package is to provide a one-stop solution to almost all problems related to footnotes. You can use it as a drop-in replacement of the `\paket{manyfoot}' package, but without many of its shortcomings, and quite a few features of its own. \end{zitat} you should probably prefer it anyway. If it is \emph{really} wanted by users I might change my opinion, though \ldots \subsection{pagenote}\secidx[pagenote]{other packages} The package \paket{pagenote} \cite{pagenote} is supported and its \cmd{pagenote} command is treated the same way as all other note commands: it got an optional \code{*} argument and an additional \cmd{multpagenote} is defined. \subsection{parnotes}\secidx[parnotes]{other packages} The \paket{parnotes} package \cite{parnotes} does something similar to the \paket{endnotes} package. basically it allows to output the footnote text after a paragraph, either by using a special environment or by invoking \cmd{parnotes}. If \paket{parnotes} is loaded \fnpct extends its functionality analogous to the one of \paket{endnotes}. Again the \key{multiple} option turns all \cmd{parnote}s into \cmd{multparnote}s. \begin{beispiel} \begin{minipage}[t]{.4\linewidth} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\parnote{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\parnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\parnote{probably fired clay bricks}. \parnotes \end{minipage}\hfil \begin{minipage}[t]{.4\linewidth} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\parnote*{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\parnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\multparnote{probably fired clay bricks;or something else}. \parnotes \end{minipage} \end{beispiel} \subsection{sepfootnotes}\secidx[sepfootnotes]{other packages} \fnpct supports the \paket{sepfootnotes} package \cite{sepfootnotes}. Each note type you have created with with one of the commands \begin{description} \item \cmd{newfootnotes}{}, \item \cmd{newendnotes}{} or \item \cmd{newsymbolfootnotes}{} \end{description} gets the additional optional \code{*} to prevent punctuation switching. Also the corresponding mult-variant \cmd{multnote} is defined. The option \key{multiple} again turns all note commands into their mult-variant. You have to use the \cmd{newfootnotes} commands in the document preamble after loading \fnpct. \begin{beispiel} % preamble \newfootnotes{a} \anotecontent{first}{not to be confused with hay} \anotecontent{second}{or lumber according to some sources} \anotecontent{third}{probably fired clay bricks} \begin{minipage}{.4\linewidth} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\anote{first}, sticks\anote{second} and bricks\anote{third}. \end{minipage} \end{beispiel} \subsection{sidenotes}\secidx[sidenotes]{other packages} The package \paket{sidenotes} \cite{sidenotes} is supported and its commands \cmd{sidenote}, \cmd{sidenotemark} and \cmd{sidecite} are treated the same way as footnotes: they got an optional \code{*} argument and the additional \cmd{multsidenote} and \cmd{multsidecite} are created. The option \key{multiple} turns all note commands into their mult-variant. \subsection{tablefootnote}\secidx[tablefootnote]{other packages} The package \paket{tablefootnote} \cite{tablefootnote} is supported and its \cmd{tablefootnote} command is treated the same way as all other note commands: it got an optional \code{*} argument and an additional \cmd{multtablefootnote} is defined. The option \key{multiple} turns all note commands into their mult-variant. \subsection{yafoot}\secidx[yafoot bundle]{other packages} Currently no issues are known when using \fnpct with one or all of the packages of the \paket{yafoot} \cite{yafoot} bundle. Just for reference: these packages are \paket*{pfnote}, \paket*{fnpos} and \paket*{dblfnote}. \secidx*{other packages} \section{Adapting note commands}\secidx{adapting notes} If a package is not natively supported you can try and adapt commands yourself. You'll need to use one of the following commands. Please be aware that if the adapted command does not match the required syntax it will get the required syntax afterwards. This can result in dummy arguments or an overwritten \code{*} argument. \begin{beschreibung} % \AdaptNote \Befehl{AdaptNote}{\cmd{cs}}\ma{\cmd{multcs}} \cnpkgdocarrow\ this lets \cmd{cs} adapt to the kerning behaviour and adds an optional \code{*}. It also creates a corresponding mult-variant. The package option \key{multiple} will now turn \cmd{cs} into its mult-variant. Required syntax: \cmd{cs}[]{} % \AdaptNoteNoMult \Befehl{AdaptNoteNoMult}{\cmd{cs}} \cnpkgdocarrow\ like \cmd{AdaptNote} but doesn't create a mult-variant and thus there is no change in behaviour when the option \key{multiple} is used. Required syntax: \cmd{cs}[]{} % \AdaptNoteOpt \Befehl{AdaptNoteOpt}{\cmd{cs}}\ma{\cmd{multcs}} \cnpkgdocarrow\ this lets \cmd{cs} adapt to the kerning behaviour and adds an optional \code{*}. It also creates a corresponding mult-variant. The package option \key{multiple} will now turn \cmd{cs} into its mult-variant. Required syntax: \cmd{cs}[]\oa{}\ma{} % \AdaptNoteOptNoMult \Befehl{AdaptNoteOptNoMult}{\cmd{cs}} \cnpkgdocarrow\ like \cmd{AdaptNoteOpt} but doesn't create a mult-variant and thus there is no change in behaviour when the option \key{multiple} is used. Required syntax: \cmd{cs}[]\oa{}\ma{} % \AdaptNoteMark \Befehl{AdaptNoteMark}{\cmd{cs}} \cnpkgdocarrow\ this lets \cmd{cs} adapt to the kerning behaviour and adds an optional \code{*}. Required syntax: \cmd{cs}[] % strict \option{strict}{\default{true}/false} when \code{true} \cmd{AdaptNote} (and the othe two) will issue errors if the note command in wuestion has already been adapted. Default = \code{false} \end{beschreibung} \subsection{tufte-latex's side notes}\secidx[tufte-latex]{adapting notes} For example using the \cmd{sidenote} command from the \paket[tufte-latex]{tufte-handout} class is easily possible, see also figure \ref{fig:tufte}: \begin{beispiel}[code only] \documentclass{tufte-handout} \usepackage[multiple]{fnpct} \AdaptNote\sidenote\multsidenote \begin{document} Some text in the document body\sidenote{Some text in a sidenote.;A second sidenote.}. \end{document} \end{beispiel} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \fbox{\includegraphics[trim=2.5cm 24.5cm 2cm 1cm,scale=.75]{tufte_ex.pdf}} \caption{Adapt {tufte-latex}.} \label{fig:tufte} \end{figure} \subsection{Adapting \code{\textbackslash\textcolor{code}{footcite}} and siblings} \secidx[biblatex]{adapting notes}\label{ssec:adapt:footcite} If you're willing to sacrifice \cmd{footcite}'s \code{*} argument which it has in some styles you can adapt the commands provided by \paket{biblatex} as well: \begin{beispiel} % used in preamble: \AdaptNoteOpt\footcite\multfootcite \begin{minipage}{.5\linewidth} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\footnote{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\footnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\footnote{probably fired clay bricks}. The companion has nothing on this topic\multfootcite{[see] [but there's nothing there]companion;[or see][but there's also nothing]knuth:ct:a}. \end{minipage} \end{beispiel} The option \key{multiple} turns all \cmd{footcite}s into \cmd{multfootcite}s now. Remember that the optional arguments then are inside the braces! \begin{beispiel} % used in preamble: \AdaptNoteOpt\footcite\multfootcite % with option `multiple': \begin{minipage}{.5\linewidth} \noindent The three little pigs built their houses out of straw\footnote{not to be confused with hay}, sticks\footnote{or lumber according to some sources} and bricks\footnote{probably fired clay bricks}. The companion has nothing on this topic\footcite{[see][but there's nothing there]companion;[or see][but there's also nothing]knuth:ct:a}. \end{minipage} \end{beispiel} \secidx*{adapting notes} \appendix \printbibliography \setindexpreamble{Section titles are indicated \textbf{bold}, packages \textsf{sans serif}, commands \code{\textbackslash\textcolor{code}{brown}} and options \textcolor{key}{\code{green}}\par\bigskip} \printindex \end{document}
