--- Comment #3 from Owen Genat <[email protected]> ---
It is worth mentioning that most style guides advise against the use of
footnotes in headings / chapter titles. Here is what the Chicago Manual of
Style 16th Edition says in §1.48:

"Footnote reference numbers or symbols should not appear anywhere in the
chapter display. A note that refers to the chapter as a whole should be
unnumbered and should precede the numbered notes, whether it appears on the
first page of the chapter or in the endnotes (see 14.47). A chapter epigraph,
sometimes considered part of the chapter display, may include a note reference,
though traditionalists will prefer an unnumbered note."

...and again in §2.20:

"Avoid appending note references to chapter titles (see 1.48)."

Here is what the APA Publication Manual 6th Edition says in §2.12, p.38:

"Do not place footnote numbers in text headings."

Here is what the Australian Style Manual 6th Edition says on p.209:

"Avoid using note identifiers in headings. A note referring to an entire
section, chapter or other component of a document should be unnumbered or
unmarked and be placed before the numbered (or marked) notes at the base of the
page, at the end of the chapter or article, or at the end of the book or
document."

Not every possible combination of style devices is good practice.
