 <tt>\footnote[num]{text}</tt>
 The <tt>\footnote</tt>  command places a numbered footnote at the bottom
 of the current page containing the contents of the argument, <tt>text</tt>.  
 The optional argument, <tt>num</tt>, is used to change
 the default footnote  number.   This command can only be used in outer
 paragraph mode.
<p>
 If <tt>num</tt> is not specified, the footnote 
 <a href="ltx-3.html">counter</a> is incremented and its value is used.
<p>
 Note that <tt>num</tt> is specified as a positive integer even if
 the footnote <a href="ltx-3.html">counter</a> has been set to use letters
 or roman numerals. 
<p>
This command is <a href="fragile.html">fragile.</a>
