I am trying to add equal contribution footnote using the \thanks keyword.
\documentclass{llncs}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\title{Some Title}
\author{Author1 \thanks{equal contribution} \and Author2 \footnotemark[1] \and Author3}
\institute{\email{email1, email2, email3} \\ Institute}
\maketitle
\end{document}
This gives me an error,
! Use of \@xfootnotenext does not match its
definition
Any work around ?.
