I want to include boxes for mathematical examples in my book. To do
this, I chose the so called 'colored boxes', divided them into an
upper part (for the mathematical example) and a lower part (for its
solution), was able to underlay both parts with different colors (for
making it pretty), choose a pretty thin boxrule and finally managed to
make the box breakable. I can even place the text for footnotes inside
the box outside the box. Unfortunately, two strange things happen in
this process:
1. I put 2 footnotes in the box. Outside the box, however, both
footnote texts are quoted with the same No. 2. A footnote text
with No. 1 does not even exist.
2. I made the entire text in the color box long enough, so there MUST
be arise a page break. This puts the first footnote on the first
page and the second on the second page of the box. Now the two
footnote texts should be shown on the corresponding pages. But
they won't, both are shown on the second page.
Greetings Andreas
Andreas,
I am copying this back to the user mailing list.
I do not know any way to force the footnotes onto a specific page, and a
bit of googling suggests that is somewhere between very difficult and
impossible. The numbering issue can be fixed (I think). I have attached
a modified version of your document, in which I added three footnotes
outside the color box both to confirm that numbering was sequential and
to demonstrate that footnote placement is not fully controllable.
Other than the added footnotes, the relevant changes are as follows.
1. I added a new counter ("myfootmark") in the preamble.
2. Inside the color box, before any footmarks, I added some LaTeX code
that sets the "myfootmark" counter equal to the current value of the
normal footnote counter and then increments it. This will be the
number assigned to your first footnotemark.
3. In your code for placing the footnotetext, I give the value of the
"myfootmark" counter as an optional argument (which causes that to
be the number printed) and also step the counter after each
footnotetext except the last.
Assuming the document compiles the same on your system as on mine, you
will see that the first footnote in the box still prints on the second
page, but the second footnote in the box now prints on the next page.
This is the result of my adding two footnotes before the box, which eat
up just enough space to cause the second portion of the box to consume
almost all of the second page. Remove one of the first two footnotes
that I added, and there is room for your second in-box footnote to join
the first one.
Cheers,
Paul
