hi marcelo, thank you so much for your suggestion loading bigfoot indeed helped a lot, the final output is much better I didn't know of that package before
nevertheless I'm getting Latex Errors that haven't been there before for example: "Paragraph ended before \...@subsection was complete." "Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup." and some similar errors right now I'm reading some documentation of the bigfoot package that I got on the internet, do you have any other suggestion how to get rid of the errors/ what could cause them? 2009/7/2 Marcelo Acuña <mv...@yahoo.com.ar>: > >> dear all, >> >> I'm trying to format my MA thesis for publication and am >> stuck with a problem: >> I can't get lyx/latex to split all of my footnotes. >> It's not that no footnote gets split but a whole bunch of >> very large >> footnotes (some more than 20 lines) just don't split at all >> and are >> causing some half a page white space or ugly ragged bottoms >> or (if I >> flexibilize the parskip command with plus and minus) huge >> spaces >> between paragraphs. >> I tried everything but it doesn't work.
