Hi !
I have searched a long time for a solution that works in a lot of environment (figure, floatrow, text etc...) which allow footnote to work decently and with hyperlinks activated in reference way (from the footnote to the footnote text) and in backreference way (from the footnote text to the footnote).
By combining several packages, I achieved several partial solutions but never succeed in making a full homogeneous solution.
After some digging, a lot of questions everywhere and some coding I achieve to obtain a solution that works in all cases I have tested. (see limitations at the bottom of the post)
So well, I post it here to those who want to use it because it is very useful in my case, but beware : it is a bit technical.
The idea was, in first time, to make a reliable solution for the command footnote{} to make it work with hyperref and backreference in all environment, even exotic one. It is the easy part.
The second point was to allow the use of footnotemark/footnotetext without [] in figure and floatrow with the support of hyperref and back reference because classical footnote tends to be useful if you want footnote at the bottom of figure but not very useful to make footnote from figure or other environment insert versatily in the others defined in plaintext. Not too difficult either but it is not very useful if you want to have multi footnone in a figure or in a floatrow .
The final point, which is the more tricky was to change the behaviour of footnotemark[] / footnotetext[] to a label/ref like behaviour. Indeed : footnotemark[]/footnotetext[] vanilla can be used inside several environnement with manual numbering. And some tricks from the hyperref manual (http://ctan.tetaneutral.net/macros/late ... manual.pdf) allow using footnotemark and footnotetext with reference on and a simple label/hyperref tricks can help with backreference. But all of this give a looooot of ugly code in the text file, which is not very practical.
So here the idea is to transform this function to include all of these tricks and to change the behaviour to a label/ref one.
A footref command slightly tuned allow to reference indiferently to old footnote/footnotetext/footnotetext[] defined elsewhere in the code. And other tricks allow to call footnotetext before or after the footnotemark indiferently.
A final big tricks allows the code to automatically defined if it is the first footnotemark called (and the tricks is not so simple in environment like floatrow) and switch automatically to a footref in this case to make references to the old footnotemark without disturbing the footnotetext thing.
The result :

Or footref to the classical footnote\footref{yolo}
A footref to the classical footnotetext\footref{yili}
A footref to the footnotemark[] in the floatrow\footref{truc}
\end{document}For now there are no reorganizing in footnote. So even if the footnotemark number always match the footnotetext number, the order of footnotetext in the footnote section of the document still depend of the order of the footnotetext command. Even if footnotetext can be called everywhere in practical like :
Code: Select all
footnotetext[foo]
footnotemark[foo]
Footnotemark[baa]
footnotetext[baa]Code: Select all
footnotetext[baa]{second footnote}
footnotemark[foo]%first footnote
Footnotemark[baa]%second footnote
footnotetext[foo]{firstfootnote}2 : second footnote
1 : first footnote
With a good numbering but a wrong order.
At this point of my use this is not a real problem, but later i think i could extract the automatic reorganisation of footnote/list/whatever in some package to put this in good order.
I guess with some other tricks it should be possible to hack figure and other environnement to add at the end an automatic insertion of the footnotetext and make a general footnote command which allow everything in all environnement, but it is too much work for me at this point
Limitation 2 :
Due to the usage of footref, the code need Koma-script classes. I guess it should be possible to copy-paste the footref definition of koma-script and to make a conditionnal switch to use the one of Komascript of the other, but i have no time for this right now.
An other idea is to delete the footref reference, but a footnotemark[foo] footnotemark[foo] will give an empty result for the second one.
Limitation 3 :
I have not tested it with the « multiple » option of koma-script. I have based my footnote code on the simple version, it is easy to copy-paste the other version in the komascript code and to make a switch in this code with it, but i have no time for this neither :p
Limitation 4 :
Due to the nature of tricks used in the code, it requires a loooooooooooooot of compiling to stabilise. A new file require 5/6 compilations to stabilise.
I guess that other solution could work or that some package does the same job, but i didn't find any reliable solutions in my search, the most of them are incompatible with hyperref for example or just put the footnote bellow the environnement, or are specialised for one environnement (tablefootnote) and don't work in others, here i have tried a more general approach...
