<h4 class="subsection">12.3.1 Footnote Commands</h4>

<p>In Texinfo, footnotes are created with the <code>@footnote</code> command. 
This command is followed immediately by a left brace, then by the text
of the footnote, and then by a terminating right brace.  Footnotes may
be of any length (they will be broken across pages if necessary), but
are usually short.  The template is:

<pre class="example">     ordinary text@footnote{<var>text of footnote</var>}
</pre>
  <p>As shown here, the <code>@footnote</code> command should come right after the
text being footnoted, with no intervening space; otherwise, the footnote
marker might end up starting a line.

  <p>For example, this clause is followed by a sample footnote<a rel="footnote" href="#fn-1" name="fnd-1"><sup>1</sup></a>; in the Texinfo source, it looks like
this:

<pre class="example">     ...a sample footnote@footnote{Here is the sample
     footnote.}; in the Texinfo source...
</pre>
  <p>As you can see, the source includes two punctuation marks next to each
other; in this case, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">.};</span></samp>&rsquo; is the sequence.  This is normal (the
first ends the footnote and the second belongs to the sentence being
footnoted), so don't worry that it looks odd.

  <p>In a printed manual or book, the reference mark for a footnote is a
small, superscripted number; the text of the footnote appears at the
bottom of the page, below a horizontal line.

  <p>In Info, the reference mark for a footnote is a pair of parentheses
with the footnote number between them, like this: &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">(1)</span></samp>&rsquo;.  The
reference mark is followed by a cross-reference link to the footnote's
text.

  <p>In the HTML output, footnote references are marked with a small,
superscripted number which is rendered as a hypertext link to the
footnote text.

  <p>By the way, footnotes in the argument of an <code>@item</code> command for a
<code>@table</code> must be on the same line as the <code>@item</code>
(as usual).  See <a href="Two_002dcolumn-Tables.html#Two_002dcolumn-Tables">Two-column Tables</a>.

  <div class="footnote">
<hr>
<h4>Footnotes</h4><p class="footnote"><small>[<a name="fn-1" href="#fnd-1">1</a>]</small> Here
is the sample footnote.</p>

  <hr></div>
