Creating footnotes with stars

[James & Nash]

Hi folks,

 

I've searched the internet, but can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for.

 

What I'd like to do is be able to define a special footnote command which  allows me to use an assteriks and retain the /footnote command. Is there a way of creating my won latex command or does anyone know how to achieve this?

 

Thanks

 

James

Hi,

frankly I wonder how long you searched. This is what googling latex
footnote symbol delivered as first hit:

This is probably too late, but maybe it could be somehow useful for somebody else...

a simple way to create a footnote with a star symbol could be like this:

add to the preambule:

\newcommand{\footstar}[1]{$^*$ \footnotetext{$^*$#1}}

and whenever you want to add a footnote with a star in your document, you just have to use:

\footstar{whatever your footnote with star is!!}

This worked for me, and it is specially usefull when you want to add footnote inside of a table and you don't want to have a number in your footnote.

Hope this could help someone

Best,

Daniel

The footmisc package has a [symbol] option which does all this automatically.

It should appear at the bottom of the page (not the whole document)
where it's called.

Don't forget to put the mark before text declaration

And I prefer \ast or \star insteod of *

Hm. Maybe it is not there because I use tables. I've read that footnotes don't work in tables? I attached a screenshot.

Yes, footnotes in tables are a known problem. They seem trapped and never escape the environment. For some fixes to this, see Footnotes in tables?
