% its own. In the former case it's a chapter, in the latter it's a
% ``normal'' LaTeX progltx document.
% If it's a subdocument, this file will be included after
% \begin{document}. We can detect this: \document redefines
% \documentclass to be \@twoclasseserror. Then we also have to define
% how this document is ended: Either by \endinput or by an additional
% revision log.
% Of course, this test works only if LaTeX 2e is used for processing.

This package is appropriate for numbering footnotes separately on each
page. It may be used with all standard document classes (and I assume
with all other well written ones). `Numbering' here does not only mean
supplying Arabic numbers, if your class or another package sets up
appropriate symbols, they are used instead.
You just have to use the |footnpag| package, the rest will happen
automagically. You will need two \LaTeX{} runs, as with cross
references or citations.
\sect \textsl{Known Problems}.
\medskip
\noindent Unlike with references, \LaTeX{} will not issue a warning if
a footnote number is incorrect due to new page breaks. Thus run
\LaTeX{} always another time if you want a final document.
This is scheduled to change in the next revision.
\sect An auxiliary file is used, named \textit{jobname}|.fot|. This is
not necessary by itself, it would have been better to use the
|aux| file. (Actually, this package was written for plain \TeX{}
originally, there is no |aux| file there.)
This is also scheduled to change in the next revision. In fact, it's
the same problem like the previous one: When I use the |aux| file,
\LaTeX{}'s warning mechanism can be utilized.
\sect There is no possibility to change the number that's used for the
first footnote on a page.
Some people like to start their footnotes with~`0', there exists even
a package for that named |zero|. |footnpag| should cooperate with that
package.
If one uses symbols as footnote markers, the first footnote is marked
with an asterisk. One might want to use a dagger instead, that's not
possible currently.
Most probably this feature will be made available via the new
``keyword-value'' option scheme, as you'll find it in the |graphicx|
package.

\Revision 2.1 1995/08/04 00:18:33 schrod
Made a \LaTeXe{} package from this style option.
User manual is a separate document now, that's better for
installation. Started to change the distribution into one that
conforms to the `supported bundle guidelines.'
