I need to add a mark (e.g., a star) next to an author name and a footnote with this mark at the bottom. Something similar to \footnote
but at the author name.
I use an ACM format article. I found some previous posts suggest using \thanks
but this does not add a mark next to the author's name.
How to add a mark as a superscript to author's name and this mark also shown to the footnote?
Here is my script using \thanks which adds a footnote but not mark or number attached to it:
\documentclass[sigconf]{acmart}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{makecell, booktabs, caption}
\usepackage{footnote}
\begin{document}
\author{Author}
\thanks{First author.}
\affiliation{
\institution{Uni.}
\city{C}
\country{C}}
\email{xyz@mail.com}
\title{Title}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
Abstract
\end{abstract}
\section{Section1}
Section.
\end{document}

The document class you are using has a built in function for that, check out the manual at http://ftp.math.purdue.edu/mirrors/ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/acmart/acmart.pdf
If you want the affiliation to appear under each author you use the
\affiliation
command, (in order:\author
,\orcid
,\affiliation
\email
).If you want the affiliation to be in a footnote (with a footnote sign) you replace the
affiliation
command with\additionalaffiliation
. If you do that make sure you put the email inside the affiliation block.If you need just anote (like thanks) you can use
\authornote
