Indentation – How to Align Multiple-Line Footnote Text Right to the Footnote Mark

footnotesindentation

How can I have the following "footnote layout"?

Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text² Some Text 

2 FOOTNOTETEXT FOOTNOTETEXT FOOTNOTETEXT FOOTNOTETEXT FOOTNOTETEXT
  FOOTNOTETEXT FOOTNOTETEXT FOOTNOTETEXT FOOTNOTETEXT FOOTNOTETEXT

My problem is that the footnote text starting with the second line is too far left.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}    
\blindtext\footnote{\blindtext}
\end{document}

Best Answer

Perhaps the easiest way is using the hang option of the footmisc package; control the separation between margin and text using \footnotemargin:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[hang]{footmisc}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\setlength\footnotemargin{10pt}

\begin{document} 
\null\vfill   % just for the example
\lipsum*[4]Test\footnote{\lipsum[4]}
\end{document}

Here's another option using scrextend (notice that, in this case, the marker is not set as superscript before the footnote text):

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{scrextend}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\deffootnote[10pt]{10pt}{10pt}{\makebox[10pt][l]{\thefootnotemark\hspace{10pt}}}

\begin{document}

\null\vfill
\lipsum*[3]Test\footnote{\lipsum[4]}

\end{document}
