Footnotes Formatting – Multiple Footnotes at One Point

Question

I'm trying to create multiple footnotes referencing from one point, that look like this:

lorem^1,2

Searching for "multiple footnotes" shows up almost exclusively solutions for multiple references to one footnote. Here I have two separate footnotes, pointing from one place. I also don't want to merge them into one, because I tried it and it looks ugly.

Currently I resolved it in a quick and dirty way, writing:

lorem\footnote{foot1}$^{,}$\footnote{foot2}

Which shows up in the resulting PDF just fine, but I feel somehow bad about it. Is there a better way to do it?

Answer 1

Use the footmisc package and its multiple option.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[multiple]{footmisc}

\textheight=80pt% only for the example

\begin{document}

Some text.\footnote{A footnote}\footnote{And another one.}

\end{document}
