% \section{Preface to version 1.1}
%
% The new release is a basically unchanged version of the original. I
% upgraded the macros so that they work with \LaTeXe{} and used some
% of the additional flexibility introduced therein. For example, the
% command |\preparefootins| is now automatically called at
% |\begin{document}|, thus allowing the user to adjust the
% |\textheight| in the preamble.
%
% It is not surprisingly that I was forced to change some of the
% macros because they dig deep into \LaTeX{}'s output routines.
% Fortunately this is something normally not necessary when upgrading
% other \LaTeX~2.09 styles to \LaTeXe{} packages.
%
% I also upgraded the documentation to conform to the \LaTeXe{}
% terminology, e.g., this is a package since document classes will not
% know about it. However it is very likely that i have missed some
% necessary corrections.
%
% \section{Introduction}
%
%
% The placement of footnotes in a multicolumn layout always bothered
% me. The approach taken by \LaTeX{} (i.e., placing the footnotes
% separately under each column) might be all right if nearly no
% footnotes are present. But it looks clumsy when both columns contain
% footnotes, especially when they occupy different amounts of space.
%
% In the multicolumn package~\cite{art:FMi89b}, I used page-wide
% footnotes at the bottom of the page, but again the result doesn't
% look very pleasant since short footnotes produce undesired gaps of
% white space. Of course, the main goal of this package was a
% balancing algorithm for columns which would allow switching between
% different numbers of columns on the same page. With this feature,
% the natural place for footnotes seems to be the bottom of the
% page\footnote{You cannot use column footnotes at the bottom, since
% the number of columns can differ on one page.} but looking at some
% of the results it seems best to avoid footnotes in such a layout
% entirely.
%
%
% Another possibility is to turn footnotes into endnotes, i.e.,
% printing them at the end of every chapter or the end of the entire
% document.  But I assume everyone who has ever read a book using such
% a layout will agree with me, that it is a pain to search back and
% forth, so that the reader is tempted to ignore the endnotes
% entirely.
%
% When I wrote the article about ``Future extensions of
% \TeX{}''~\cite{inproc:FMi90} I was again dissatisfied with the
% outcome of the footnotes, and since this article should show certain
% aspects of high quality typesetting, I decided to give the footnote
% problem a try and modified the \LaTeX{} output routine for this
% purpose.  The layout I used was inspired by the yearbook of the
% Gutenberg Gesellschaft Mainz \cite{book:GG}.  Later on, I found that
% it is also recommended by Jan White \cite{book:JWh88}. On the layout
% of footnotes I also consulted books by Jan Tschichold
% \cite{book:JTs87} and Manfred Simoneit \cite{book:MSi89}, books I
% would recommend to everyone being able to read German texts.
%
%
% \subsection{Description of the new layout}
%
% The result of this effort is presented in this paper and the reader
% can judge for himself whether it was successful or
% not.\footnote{Please note, that this option only changed the
% placement of footnotes. Since this article also makes use of the
% {\tt doc} package \cite{bk:GMS94}, that assigns tiny numbers to
% code lines sprinkled throughout the text, the resulting design is
% not perfect. This package is now a standard part of \LaTeXe.}
% The main idea for this layout is to assemble the
% footnotes of all columns on a page and place them all together at
% the bottom of the right column. Allowing for enough space between
% footnotes and text, and in addition, setting the footnotes in
% smaller type\footnote{The standard layout in \TUB{} uses the same
% size for footnotes and text, giving the footnotes, in my opinion,
% much too much prominence.} I decided that one could omit the
% footnote separator rule which is used in most publications prepared
% with \TeX{}.\footnote{People who prefer the rule can add it by
% redefining the command {\tt\bslash footnoterule}
% \cite[p.~156]{book:LLa86}. Please, note, that this command should
% occupy no space, so that a negative space should be used to
% compensate for the width of the rule used.} Furthermore, I decided
% to place the footnote markers\footnote{\label{thisftn}The tiny
% numbers or symbols, e.g., the `\ref{thisftn}' in front of this
% footnote.} at the baseline instead of raising them as
% superscripts.\footnote{Of course, this is done only for the mark
% preceding the footnote text and not the one used within the main
% text where a raised number or symbol set in smaller type will help
% to keep the flow of thoughts, uninterrupted.}
%
% All in all, I think this generates a neat layout, and surprisingly
% enough, the necessary changes to the \LaTeX{} output routine are
% nevertheless astonishingly simple.
%
% \subsection{The use of the package}
%
% This package might be used together with any other  package
% for \LaTeX{} which does not change the three internals changed by
% {\tt \filename}.\footnote{These are the macros {\tt\bslash
% @startcolumn}, {\tt\bslash @makecol}, and {\tt\bslash @outputdblcol},
% as we will see below.  Of course, the package will take only effect
% with a document class using a two-column layout (like {\tt ltugboat})
% or when the user additionally specifies {\tt twocolumn} as a
% document class option in the {\tt\bslash documentclass} command.} In
% most cases, it is best to use this  package as the very last
% package in the preamble to make sure that its
% settings are not overwritten by other packages.
%
% It is unfortunate that the current \LaTeX{} has nearly no provisions
% to make such changes without overwriting the internal routines. In
% the \LaTeX3 implementation, we will certainly add some hooks that
% will make such changes more easy.
%
%
% \subsection{Limitations}
%
% If in the first column there is more than a full column worth of footnote
% material the material will be split resulting in footnotes out of
% order. This issue is now detected and generates an error but the package is
% unable to gracefully handle it. This gives you two options: either rearrange
% your input so that it will use less footnotes in the first column (or add
% some pagebreaks at suitable places) or allow explicitly for more material to
% be gathered. The latter can be achieved by adding
%\begin{verbatim}
%\makeatletter
%\def\preparefootins{%
%  \global\rcol@footinsskip\skip\footins
%  \global\skip\footins\z@
%  \global\count\footins\z@
%  \global\dimen\footins2\textheight}
%\makeatother
%\end{verbatim}
% to the preamble of your document. However, with this you allow two columns
% worth of footnote material and that means that some of your footnotes are
% likely to be detached from their reference and show up on a later page!

% \section{The Implementation}
%
%
% As usual, we start by identifying the current version of this package
% file in the transcript file.\footnote{Nico Poppelier suggested
% omitting the {\tt\bslash typeout} statements in the production
% version of the files to avoid showing all that unnecessary
% information to the user. While I accept his criticism as valid, I
% decided that this information should at least be placed into the
% transcript file to make it easier to detect problems arising from
% the use of older versions. This happens now automatically as the command
% \texttt{\string\ProvidesPackage} will only write to the transcript file.}
% This actually happens at the very top of this file so it is commented out
% here.
%\begin{verbatim}
%\ProvidesPackage{ftnright}[\filedate\space
%               LaTeX2e package \fileversion]
%\end{verbatim}
%
% To implement the layout described, above we have to distinguish
% between the left and the right column on a page. For this purpose
% \LaTeX{} maintains the switch |\if@firstcolumn|. When assembling
% material for the left (i.e., the first) column, footnotes should
% take up no space, since they are held over for the second column. In
% the second column these footnotes are combined with the ones found
% there and placed a suitable distance from the main text at the
% bottom of this column.
%
% This means that we have to change certain parameters for the
% insertion |\footins| when we construct the second column. The right
% place to do this is in the \LaTeX{} macro |\@outputdblcol| which we
% are going to change later on.  What settings for the insertion
% parameters are appropriate? For setting the first column
% |\count|\.|\footins| and |\skip|\.|\footins| should both be zero
% since footnotes are held over while for the second column
% |\count|\.|\footins| should be $1000$ and the |\skip|\.|\footins|
% has to be set to the desired separation between main text and
% footnotes.\footnote{A value of $1000$ means that there is a
% one-to-one relationship between the real size of the footnote and
% the size finally occupied by the footnote on the current page.}
%
%
% We will allow one column of footnotes (i.e., the right column) at
% most, so that |\dimen|\.|\footins| has to equal |\textheight|. In
% principle, it would be possible to allow for even more footnotes,
% but this would complicate matters enormously.\footnote{It is not
% possible to make {\tt\bslash dimen\bslash footins} larger than
% {\tt\bslash textheight} directly, because this would result in a
% full left column (with text) and more than one column of footnotes.
% Instead, one has to make footnotes visible to the page generation
% algorithm again at the moment when a full column of footnotes is
% assembled, but we still have some space left in the first column. It
% is a nice enhancement, and, I suppose, it is of some value for
% preparing publications in certain disciplines, so here is the
% challenge~\ldots}
%
%
% \begin{macro}{\preparefootins}
% \begin{macro}{\saved@footinsskip}
%    Since a document usually starts with a left column, we have to
%    set |\count| and |\skip|\.|\footins| on top-level to zero. For
%    this purpose, we define a macro |\preparefootins| which will
%    first save the current value of |\skip|\.|\footins| in a safe
%    place. This saved value will be used later for the second column.
%    In this way, it is possible for the user or a designer of a
%    document class to adjust this parameter without fiddling with the
%    code of this package file.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*package>
\def\preparefootins{%
  \global\rcol@footinsskip\skip\footins
  \global\skip\footins\z@
  \global\count\footins\z@
%    \end{macrocode}
%    We will also assign |\textheight| to |\dimen|\.|\footins| to
%    allow the user to change this parameter in the preamble.
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \global\dimen\footins\textheight}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    It is necessary to make the assignments above |\global| because
%    we are going to use this macro in the output routine which has an
%    implicit grouping level to keep the changes made by it local.
%  \end{macro}
%    Of course, we have to allocate the {\sf skip} register that we
%    used above:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newskip\rcol@footinsskip
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}
%
%
% \begin{macro}{\@outputdblcol}
%    Now we have all the necessary tools available to tackle
%    |\@outputdblcol|.  We have to remember that when
%    |\if@firstcolumn| equals |\iftrue|, we are currently starting to
%    build the second column, i.e., that the first column is already
%    assembled. Therefore, the macro will start with the following
%    code:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\@outputdblcol{\if@firstcolumn
  \global\@firstcolumnfalse
%    \end{macrocode}
%    After changing the switch, we save the first column (which was
%    placed by preceding macros in |\@outputbox|) in the box register
%    |\@leftcolumn|. Since we are inside the output routine, all those
%    assignments have to be |\global| to take any effect.
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \global\setbox\@leftcolumn\box\@outputbox
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Then, we make the footnotes visible to the page generation
%    algorithm by setting |\count\footins| to $1000$ (|\@m| is an
%    abbreviation for this number) and |\skip\footins| to its saved
%    value (i.e., |\rcol@footinsskip|).
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \global\count\footins\@m
  \global\skip\footins\rcol@footinsskip
%    \end{macrocode}
%    We also have to reinsert all footnotes left over from the first
%    column to make sure that they are reconsidered by the page
%    generation algorithm of \TeX{} using the new values for |\count|
%    and |\skip|\.|\footins|. But this will be done later in the
%    macro |\@startcolumn|.
%
%    If we have just finished the right column, i.e., when
%    |\if@firstcolumn| equals |\iffalse|, we will reset the |\footins|
%    parameters as explained above using the utility macro
%    |\preparefootins|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
 \else \preparefootins
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Then, we compose both columns in |\@outputbox|, combine them with
%    all page-wide floats for this page (|\@combinedblfloats|), attach
%    header and footer, and ship out the result (|\@outputpage|).
%    Finally we look to see whether it is possible to generate
%    following pages consisting only of page-wide
%    floats.\footnote{This part is copied directly from the original
%    \LaTeX{} macro. Details about the used macros, their interfaces
%    and meanings can be found in the \LaTeXe{} source
%    code~\cite{src:ltxiii94}.}

% \begin{macro}{\@startcolumn}
% \changes{v1.0b}{1990/08/11}{Macro added to correct float problems}
%    There is a fundamental flaw in \LaTeX's output routine for float
%    columns and float pages: split footnotes, i.e., footnotes which
%    are only partly typeset on the preceding page are not resolved.
%    They are held over until \LaTeX{} starts a page (or column)
%    containing text besides floats again. For our current layout,
%    this would mean, that if \LaTeX{} decided to make the right
%    column of a page a float column, footnotes from the left column
%    would appear on a later page. A real cure for this problem would
%    be to rewrite two-thirds of \LaTeX{}'s output routine, so I am
%    leaving this open for the interested reader.

% \end{figure}
%
%    But the problem shows up even if only one float is contributed to
%    the right column since \LaTeX{} assumes that the whole column is
%    usable, whereas some of it might actually be already devoted to
%    footnotes from the left column. So we have to change the output
%    routine at least in the part that contributes floats to the next
%    column. The macro involved is called |\@startcolumn|. The first
%    thing we do is to check and see whether any deferred floats
%    exists.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\@startcolumn{%
 \ifx\@deferlist\@empty
%    \end{macrocode}
%    If not, we set the switch |\if@fcolmade| to {\tt false} which
%    says that we did not succeed in making a float column. Then, we
%    set |\@colroom| to |\@colht|. The register |\@colht| holds the
%    amount of space that is available for floats, text, and footnotes
%    in one column, i.e., it equals |\textheight| minus the space
%    devoted to page-wide floats. |\@colroom| is a similar register
%    which holds the value |\@colht| minus space for column floats
%    that are already contributed to the current column. Of course,
%    both values should be equal when we start a new column.
%    \begin{macrocode}
   \global\@fcolmadefalse
   \global\@colroom\@colht
 \else
%    \end{macrocode}
%    If there are floats waiting for a change to be processed, the
%    situation is more difficult. In this case, we have to reduce both
%    |\@colht| and |\@colroom| by the amount of space that will be
%    needed for the footnotes from the left column. So we must check
%    whether such footnotes are present. As we have not reinserted
%    them in |\@outputdblcol|, we can check the |\footins| box.
%    \begin{macrocode}
   \ifvoid\footins\else
%    \end{macrocode}
%    If there are some, we measure the space that will be occupied by
%    them. This measurement is not really exact. If  we have a full
%    column of footnotes, it will be too high, but this does matter
%    since we need it only for an upper bound on the free space
%    available for floats.
%    \begin{macrocode}
     \ftn@amount\ht\footins
     \advance\ftn@amount\dp\footins
     \advance\ftn@amount\skip\footins
   \fi
%    \end{macrocode}
%    We then reduce the |\@colht| by this amount and again assign
%    |\@colroom| the value of |\@colht|. If no footnotes are present,
%    we subtract zero, so there is no harm in doing this operation
%    all the time.
%    \begin{macrocode}
   \global\advance\@colht-\ftn@amount
   \global\@colroom\@colht
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Now, we call another internal \LaTeX{} macro that will try to
%    contribute floats to the next column. It will use the register
%    |\@colht| when trying to build up a float column, which is the
%    reason for reducing this register. If it succeeds, it will set the
%    switch |\if@fcolmade| to {\tt true}, otherwise, to {\tt false}. If
%    no float column is possible, it will try to place some or all of
%    the deferred floats to the top or the bottom of the next column,
%    thereby, using and reducing the value of the register |\@colroom|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
   \@xstartcol
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Afterwards, we have to restore the correct values for |\@colht|
%    and |\@colroom| again, but this time, they may differ, so that we
%    have to |\advance| both registers separately by |\ftn@amount|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
   \global\advance\@colht\ftn@amount
   \global\advance\@colroom\ftn@amount
 \fi
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Now, after doing the things depending on the status of the
%    |\@deferlist|, we have to incorporate the left over footnotes in
%    the new column. First we check whether a float column was
%    produced by |\@xstartcol| or not.
%    \begin{macrocode}
 \if@fcolmade
%    \end{macrocode}
%    If so, we do something awful. To make use of the |\@makecol|
%    macro, which attaches footnotes to |\box| $255$ and places the
%    result in the box register |\@outputbox|, we have to assign
%    |\@outputbox| (i.e., the result of |\@xstartcol|) to |\box|
%    $255$.\footnote{In German, we call this ``from the back through
%    the chest into the eyes''.}
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \setbox\@cclv\box\@outputbox
  \@makecol
 \else
%    \end{macrocode}
%    If no float column was produced, we reinsert the held over
%    footnotes so that they can be reconsidered by the page generation
%    algorithm of \TeX.  But it is necessary to ensure that this
%    operation is done only when footnotes are actually
%    present.\footnote{Otherwise, we might get an undesired extra
%    vertical space coming from {\tt\bslash skip\bslash footins}, even

%    The macro |\@xtsartcol| was removed in \LaTeXe{} but we introduce
%    it here again for the moment.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\@xstartcol{%
  \@tryfcolumn \@deferlist
  \if@fcolmade
  \else

%  \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\@makecol}
%    The other internal macro that we have to change is |\@makecol|, a
%    macro that is called whenever one column of material is assembled
%    and column floats and footnotes have to be added. Again, we have
%    to distinguish between actions for the first and the second
%    column.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\@makecol{\if@firstcolumn
%    \end{macrocode}
%    For the first column, we leave the footnotes in their box and
%    simply save the contents of box $255$ in the |\box| register
%    |\@outputbox|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \setbox\@outputbox\box\@cclv
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    But if the user erroneously forgot to specify a twocolumn layout, we
%    will always typeset the first column, so that the footnotes are
%    never printed.  Therefore we better check for this special case
%    and output the footnotes on a separate page in an
%    emergency.\footnote{Otherwise, the footnotes are held over for
%    ever, preventing \TeX{} from finishing the document successfully.
%    Instead, \TeX{} will produce infinity many empty pages at the end
%    of the document, trying in vain to output the held over
%    footnotes.  This problem was found by Rainer Sch\"opf when we
%    prepared the paper for the Cork conference.}

      \shipout\box\footins \fi\fi
%    \end{macrocode}
%    What we also need to check is if there is so much footnote material that
%    it resulted in a footnote being split. If that happens the whole
%    algorithm falls apart and the footnotes get out of sync.  For the
%    moment we simply detect it here, perhaps some better scheme can be
%    implemented. One way to avoid this is to allow more than |\textheight| of
%    footnotes in |\preparefootins|. However, that isn't such a good idea
%    either as that means that a footnote from column one, might end up
%    completely on a later page.

 \else
%    \end{macrocode}
%    When we construct the second column, we must first check whether
%    footnotes are actually present. If not, we perform the same
%    actions as before.
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \ifvoid\footins
    \setbox\@outputbox\box\@cclv
  \else
%    \end{macrocode}
%    But, if footnotes are present, it may be possible that the whole
%    column consists of footnotes, i.e., |\box| $255$ is empty. In
%    this case, there is no use in placing any glue (|\skip\footins|)
%    in front,\footnote{In fact, it would be a mistake since this glue
%    was not taken into account when the footnotes where assembled, so
%    it would produce an overfull box.} so we have to check for this
%    possibility.
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \setbox\@outputbox\vbox
      {\ifvoid\@cclv \else
         \unvbox\@cclv
         \vskip\skip\footins\fi
%    \end{macrocode}
%    But in any case, we place the |\footnoterule| in front of the
%    footnotes even if this macro is not used by this
%    package.\footnote{This decision is certainly open to criticism,
%    since there is nothing to separate. On the other hand, a rule or
%    some other ornament in front of the footnotes is part of the
%    design which should be used consistently throughout a document.
%    As a last argument in favor of the rule, consider the situation
%    where \LaTeX{} decided to place only floats and footnotes into
%    the right hand column. In this case a separator again seems
%    adequate. In this situation one can even argue that it is
%    necessary to put in the {\tt \bslash skip\.\bslash footins}.}
%    This ends the if-statement testing whether footnotes are present
%    or not. It also ends the code which differs depending on the
%    column number.
% \changes{v1.1d}{1998/12/02}{Added the color@group macros and

         \footnoterule\unvbox\footins

  \fi
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Now the column floats are added at the top and the bottom, and
%    the |\@outputbox| is adjusted to the full column height so that
%    the glue inside will stretch in certain situations.\footnote{It
%    is an interesting question as to whether the current layout works
%    well with bottom floats or not. Actually, I would prefer to place
%    the footnotes below the bottom floats instead of above, as it is
%    done here. At least when the floats are part of the document and
%    not puzzles thrown in.  But I was too lazy to implement it
%    because I seldom use floats. If somebody implements this layout
%    (some parts of this macro have to be changed) I would be
%    interested in seeing the code and some sample results.} Again,
%    this code is copied verbatim from the original source, so I won't
%    dwell on details.\footnote{I only changed {\tt\bslash dimen128}
%    into {\tt\bslash @tempdima} which is, besides being faster and
%    shorter, only a cosmetic change. The use of this hardwired {\sf
%    dimen} register seems to indicate that this part of \LaTeX{} was
%    written very early and left unchanged since then: an interesting
%    fact for software archaeologists.}\footnote{For the \LaTeXe{}
%    upgrade I had to add the support for the
%    {\tt\string\enlargethispage} command---let's hope I did it in the

%    size.\footnote{In the new release I used the definitions from the
%    class option files \texttt{size1?.clo} and modified them
%    slightly. In the previous release there was no correction for the
%    list parameters etc., thus giving you incorrect spacing if
