Hi,

How can I reset the counter in footnotes or endnotes?

Thanx

Robin

\setcounter{footnote}{<value>}

and similarly for endnote, i guess.

but why? sounds to me like a formula for confusion, especially with
endnotes. far better to have a package to do the job systematically.

I'm writing my dissertation, and each chapter should start with a new
set of footnotes. So the numbering should restart with each chapter.
If there is a package to do the job, what is it?

I would probably use chngcntr.sty.

Actually, you don't need the package remreset, unless you want to do
the opposite (have some counter run through that LaTeX would like to
reset periodically).

\@addtoreset is a standard part of LaTeX.

Can I than give each section of the notes a different name?

example:
Title 1
note1
note2
note3
Title 2
note1
note2
note3

something like this?

\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\thechapter-\arabic{footnote}}

well, if the other robin is using the standard classes, there's no
need even for that, since the footnote numbering is already reset per
chapter. (i think it's a fairly common arrangement.)

The resetting of the notenumbering is no problem, but since I use
endnotes, I would like to insert the chapternames in the page where the
notes are, so the reader can see which notes belong to which chapter.
How can I do that?
