Hello,

Let's say you write a footnote's argument, i.e.
\footnote{argument} ,
where the length of argument is too high, resulting in a footnote
which is, in the output, cut in some pieces. The footnote is thus
divided across pages, but I find it ugly to see these cut footnotes
not separated with an ...

Thanks for all your answers. My problem is now solved. I used , as suggested by Stefan. I saved the other solutions too.

(I did not want my whole document to be in landscape format.)

Hello,

When using the Rejne fncychap's parameter, my \chapter boxes are partly broken.

Here is a MWE:


\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,twoside,final,makeidx,openright]{book}

\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[frenchb,english]{babel}

\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{lscape}
\usepackage ...

Thanks.

You can also use the enumitem package:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}

\begin{enumerate}[label={[}\arabic*{]}:]
\item first item.
\item second item.
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}
Pretty good! I will check it too. Thanks.

Thanks for your answer, Stefan. That is possible that I made a typo when trying locally. It now works.

Is there a preferred (in the sense of the enumerate package, not in our sense) form?

Thanks.

Hello,

I would like to use the enumerate package to have such an output:

[1]: My first item,
[2]: My second item.

Inferring its manual ( http://www.dd.chalmers.se/latex/Docs/PDF/enumerate.pdf ), I would use such a partial code:


\begin{enumerate}[[1]:]
\item My first item,
\item My second item ...

The log file is incomplete. At least the first five lines are missing.

Yes, but are they relevant? I should have specified that it was a part of the log.
You should know which LaTeX distribution you are using. It is MiKTeX.

You should also know that your compilation route is LaTeX -> DVI ...

I think that some things would help to get closer to the probable cause.


The LaTeX distribution
The compilation route
The list of used files

The last point needs the \listfiles command in the preamble.

How can I manage to learn these pieces of info?

Here is the log:

I do not understand why it does not work at my compilation. Is my .pdf file ``bad'' (i.e. not as I want it to be) on your computer?

I've noticed that it works when the text is shorter.
