Footnote in section title
Simone
I need to insert a footnote to a section title. On the web I found a
general practice consisting in writing:
\section[examples]{Examples\footnote{examples' note}}
When compiling, I obtain these errors:
! Argument of \ttl@savefn has an extra }.
<inserted text>
\par
l.13 ...amples]{Examples\footnote{examples' note}}
Runaway argument?
\z@ \reserved@a \reserved@b {\ttl@savefn \@ne []}\futurelet
\@let@token \ETC.
! Paragraph ended before \ttl@savefn was complete.
<to be read again>
\par
l.13 ...amples]{Examples\footnote{examples' note}}
Runaway argument?
Examples\let \reserved@d =[\def \let \def
! Paragraph ended before \@skipmath was complete.
<to be read again>
\par
l.13 ...amples]{Examples\footnote{examples' note}}
I don't know what to do, I tried something but with no success... i
even tried the solution with \footnotemark and \footnotetext but it
didn't work... what can I do? Will I have to remove the footnote from
section title and put it elsewhere? Please help me!
Many thanks to you all in advance.
Simone.

minimal example please, with document class and preamble
also try
\protect\footnote

\protect\footnote provides a footnote in the table of contents, which is
(more often than not) undesirable.

erhm, did you read what the OP wrote?
\section[examples]{Examples\footnote{examples' note}}
I suggested adding \protect in front of \footnote, or post a minimal example

I'll try your suggestions in a while (I was at lunch, sorry if I
didn't answer), but I just tried to change \section... in \subsection
and everything went right! The footnote appeared in the right way! I'm
using a customized template for my degree thesis (Classicthesis +
Arsclassica, available here: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/arsclassica/)
so maybe there's some customization in section titles that does not
allow for that "trick"...
Here is my preamble:
\documentclass

openright,

fleqn,

\usepackage

\usepackage[italian]{arsclassica}
\usepackage{tesi}
and here is the tesi.sty, the last package used in preamble (but I
don't think it's the "culprit"):

yes, and it doesn't make any sense on its own.

strange as it may seem, i had noticed that. perhaps i ought to stop
posting here, too, if i give such offence. :-(

A minimal example seems to be this
\documentclass{scrreprt}
\usepackage{classicthesis}
\begin{document}
\section[test]{test\footnote{xxxx}}
\end{document}
this gives the error mentioned, and which is fixed by using
\protect\footnote
so it seems classicthesis causes problems
Simone
I wish to thank you all for your help. I answered now because I had an
unforeseen problem and I had to go to the hospital.
With \protect\footnote everything went right... I didn't know about
the \protect statement, I'll examine the documentation.
Many thanks to you all again! :-)
Bye.

interestingly I don't know what it is that classicthesis is changing,
without it it works fine without the protect

classicthesis changes the section format with titlesec and uses
\MakeTextLowercase from the textcase package to format the section
title. This can lead to problems with commands in the section title.
