It seems like it's not possible to put footnote inside a description list item.
For example in the following code first footnote appears at the bottom of the page, but the second – doesn't:
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\begin{document}
Text text text.\footnote{This footnote is working}
\begin{description}
\item[Label\footnote{This footnote is not working}] Some description
\end{description}
\end{document}
Why it's not working this way? And is there any way to put footnote to a list item?
Best Answer
Use
\footenotemark
inside the item's optional argument and\footnotetext
outside.
