I am writing an article and need footnotes to write author affiliations. I am writing in a two-column format and using \twocolumn
. I would like the superscripts of the footnote to be custom made, such that the footnote superscript of the first author could be \dagger 1
and the second could be e,g, \ddagger 2a
. See the example below
\documentclass[10pt,twocolumn]{article}
\begin{document}
\twocolumn[
\begin{center}
Author 1\footnotemark and Author 2\footnotemark
\end{center}
]
\footnotetext{Custom superscript 1: Text}
\footnotetext{Custom superscript 2: Text}
Text \footnote{Ordinary footnote}
\end{document}
Right now, the superscript of the two authors is '2'. How can I change this?

You can use
\textsuperscript{<whatever>}
to mimic the footnote representation. Then,\customfootnotetext{<whatever>}{<footnote text>}
(defined below) can be used to set the actual footnote text.
