Attached above is my current example. Attatched below is my desired output. I want to ask on how to make the footnote numbers on the bottom of the page not like superscripts but like normal text and have a quad distance to the paragraph, which is unindented?

You can redefine \@makefnmark
and \@makefntext
to achieve the behavior you describe. We look at the original definition with \makeatletter\show\@makefntext\makeatother
and produce
> \@makefntext=\long macro:
#1->\parindent 1em\noindent \hb@xt@ 1.8em{\hss \@makefnmark }#1.
l.6 \makeatletter\show\@makefntext
and with \makeatletter\show\@makefnmark\makeatother
we produce
> \@makefnmark=macro:
->\hbox {\@textsuperscript {\normalfont \@thefnmark }}.
l.7 \makeatletter\show\@makefnmark
In the latter case, we get rid of the \@textsuperscript
to address question one. I am not sure, I understand 'number in a list' correctly, but I added a period after the number in \@makefntext
to address question two. If you like other changes, you can add them in the same way.
This affects all footnotes in the whole document and should, therefore, be consistent for all footnotes. You can look at the footmisc
or the scrextend
package to get more options for footnote issues. You will also find some more in question 1 and question 2.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[paperheight=2in]{geometry}
\makeatletter%
\long\def\@makefnmark{%
\hbox {{\normalfont \@thefnmark }}}%
\makeatother
\makeatletter%
\long\def\@makefntext#1{%
\parindent 1em\noindent \hb@xt@ 1.8em{\hss \@makefnmark.}#1}%
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\makeatletter\show\@makefntext\makeatother
Word \footnote{This is a word.} Word \footnote{This is also a word.}
\end{document}
You ask:
How do I make the footnote hang on a new line? ie have "2012 )." align with the beginning of "Susan" instead of "1".
How can I increase the vertical space above and below the footnote line? Can I make this a flexi space?
To get "hanging" footnotes, you could load the
footmisc
package with thehang
option:\usepackage[hang]{footmisc}
I assume that by "footnote line" you mean the short line that separates the main text block from the footnote material; this line is frequently called the footnote rule, or footrule for short. One way to change the space between the last line of the text block and the footnote separator line is to load the
geometry
package and set the desired space in thefootnotesep
option. You don't specify how large this space should be; if it were, say,2\baselineskip
, you could load the geometry package like this:\usepackage[footnotesep=2\baselineskip]{geometry}
I would recommend leaving the default amount of vertical separation between the footnote rule and the footnote material itself unchanged. However, if you must, you can change the space left blank above each footnote (including the first one in the footnote block) by doing a
\renewcommand
on the parameter\footnotesep
; its default height is6.65pt
if the main document font size is10pt
, and slightly more if you're working with11pt
or12pt
as the main document font size. E.g., you could issue the command\renewcommand{\footnotesep}{1\baselineskip}
. Note that this parameter has a backslash, whereas the similar-looking option to thegeometry
package does not.I'm not quite sure what you mean by "flexispace". In case you mean that the footnote material should always be at the very bottom of the page -- which, in the example above, is equivalent to saying that the footnotesep amount should be anywhere from 2.00 to 2.99
\baselineskip
-- use the optionbottom
when loading thefootmisc
package.
The following is a minimal working example that illustrates the operation of the two suggested settings. The lower part of the resulting first page looks like this:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[hang,bottom]{footmisc}
\usepackage[footnotesep=2\baselineskip,margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum} % for filler text
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
Some thoughts.\footnote{\lipsum*[2]}
\lipsum[3-10] % fill up remainder of page and then some
\end{document}
