footnotes – Tarik Billa

Is there a way to prevent LaTeX from splitting long footnotes across multiple column/pages?

Use \interfootnotelinepenalty=10000 to totally disallow this. But be prepared for other layout artifacts… Setting the penalty lower than 10000 will give TeX some flexibility in deciding when the side effects are too bad to bear. For a detailed discussion see the TeX FAQ item Why does LaTeX split footnotes across pages?

Footnote spacing in LaTeX

\footnotesep is the space between footnotes: \setlength{\footnotesep}{0.5cm} \footins is the space between the text body and the footnotes: \setlength{\skip\footins}{2cm} You might want to play around with the actual numbers, I’ve just chosen some values where you will actually see the difference.
