Re: suppression of footnotes in TOC

[Ekkehart Schlicht]

Dear Richard, dear all, I found out that Lyx uses \protect\footnote{...}. With the normal \footnote{ } the problem does not occur. \protect\footnote{  } is not recommended precisely for the reason I mentioned, see http://www.tex.ac.uk/FAQ-ftnsect.html Instead, footmisc can be used (which I often use anyway). It will work with \usepackage[stable]{footmisc} Thus it seems easy to mend the problem in LyX by simply redefining what the footnote inset does, i.e. omitting \stable, and adding \usepackage[stable]{footmisc} either in the preamble or in Lyx itself.

In the TOC, these footnotes re-appear. It is quite clumsy to repress them in those cases by using \section* instead of \section and add \addcontentsline{section}{12 sectionname}. It would be very convenient to have footnoes to TOC entries omitted by defaultin the TOC. The only way I ever found is to define a new "footnote" command and use it on the heading instead of the normal one. See here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/123762 Basically you add to the Preamble \makeatletter \def\myfnt{\ifx\protect\@typeset@protect\expandafter\footnote\else\expandafter\@gobble\fi} \makeatother and then to insert the "footnote" on the heading you use a TeX box (Ctrl-L) with the command \myfnt{the heading footnote} on it. The numbering integrates without problems with normal footnotes, only on LyX it will look kind of weird. But you can always define a character style ;) Regards, Ricardo   Thanks! -- Ekkehart Schlicht Hurtenstr. 13 82345 Andechs-Frieding Tel: +49 (0)8152 9149271
