As you can see in the picture (red lines), spaces within footnotes is present.
I've tried to use those two commands:
\setlength{\footnotesep}{1pt} % space between footnotes
\setlength{\skip\footins}{1cm} % space between body text and footnoes
I use the \setstretch{1.3}
command.
What I want is to clear the spacings inside
footnoted text, different from the main text.
A MWE is:

Best Answer
By default, footnotes, like body text, are single-spaced:
My guess is that your code looks something like this:
which produces footnotes like this:
The problem here is the use of
without taking any precautions to avoid unwanted spacing screw-ups. The way to do this properly, with the standard classes (
book
,article
,report
) is to usesetspace
(or take the precautions yourself):Since you have not provided a minimal working example (MWE), it is impossible to do more than guess. So, if this is not the problem, please provide a complete, compilable document demonstrating the issue (and remember to do this when posting future questions).
