This paragraph ends up being indented by one inch. But this time the footnote\numberedfootnote{This one should be like the others.} shouldn't be indented. \footnotemarkseparation = .16666em \numberedlist \li This is the first item in a list, and it has a footnote\numberedfootnote{See? With a separation less than the others, too}. This is the second paragraph of the first item, and it has one\numberedfootnote{This is in the second paragraph.} too. \endnumberedlist \leftskip = 0pt Now let's redefine the footnote command. \let\footnote = \numberedfootnote \everyfootnote = {\it\leftskip=1in}% And do one\footnote{This is it, should be indented by one inch and in italics.} footnote with that, which should also end up indented. \font\small = cmr7 \everyfootnote = {\small \baselineskip = 7pt } Another paragraph\footnote{With a footnote in a smaller font, but make it more than one line long so we can see if the baselineskip change worked or not.

The big blank space following this will force a long footnote to be broken across pages. \vglue 41pc plus 1filll This is the last line on the page\footnote{And this is the last footnote; it should be like the last one. We are making this footnote pretty long, so that it won't all fit on one page. I hope that \TeX\ will break it across pages, so we see if the new footnote formatting parameters still work in that case. Oh, boy, I can see we should make this footnote really long; much longer than I can make up garbage sentences like this for. Well, maybe not. I can be pretty verbose when I have to be. I suppose anyone can. Did you notice I'm inconsistent about leaving one space or two after sentence-ending periods? Punctuation, really.}, and it should have 12pt (which is the footins skip) between it and the rule\footnote{I lied; {\it this} is the last footnote}. \end
