They can be produced with one command, the \footnote command. They can also be produced with two commands, the \footnotemark and the \footnotetext commands. See the specific command for information on why you would use one over the other. \footnote: Insert a footnote. \footnotemark: Insert footnote mark only. \footnotetext: Insert footnote text only. ############################################################ \footnote ::footnote:: ############################################################ \footnote[number]{text} The \footnote command places the numbered footnote text at the bottom of the current page. The optional argument, number, is used to change the default footnote number. This command can only be used in outer paragraph mode; i.e., you cannot use it in sectioning commands like \chapter, in figures, tables or in a tabular environment. ############################################################ \footnotemark ::footnotemark:: ############################################################ The \footnotemark command puts the footnote number in the text. This command can be used in inner paragraph mode. The text of the footnote is supplied by the \footnotetext command. This command can be used to produce several consecutive footnote markers referring to the same footnote by using \footnotemark[\value{footnote}] after the first \footnote command. ############################################################ \footnotetext ::footnotetext:: ############################################################ \footnotetext[number]{text} The \footnotetext command produces the text to be placed at the bottom of the page. This command can come anywhere after the \footnotemark command. The \footnotetext command must appear in outer paragraph mode. The optional argument, number, is used to change the default footnote number. @
