Footnote Commands
=================

  In Texinfo, footnotes are created with the `@footnote' command.  This
command is followed immediately by a left brace, then by the text of
the footnote, and then by a terminating right brace.  The template is:

     @footnote{TEXT}

  Footnotes may be of any length, but are usually short.

  For example, this clause is followed by a sample footnote(1) (
see Footnote Commands-Footnotes); in the Texinfo source, it looks like
this:

     ...a sample footnote @footnote{Here is the sample
     footnote.}; in the Texinfo source...

  *Warning:* Don't use footnotes in the argument of the `@item' command
for a `@table' table.  This doesn't work; because of limitations of
TeX, there is no way to fix it.  To avoid the problem, move the
footnote into the body text of the table.

  In a printed manual or book, the reference mark for a footnote is a
small, superscripted number; the text of the footnote appears at the
bottom of the page, below a horizontal line.

  In Info, the reference mark for a footnote is a pair of parentheses
with the footnote number between them, like this: `(1)'.
