11.1 \footnote

Synopsis:

     \footnote[number]{text}

The \footnote command places the numbered footnote text at the bottom of the current page. The optional argument number changes the default footnote number.

This command can only be used in outer paragraph mode; i.e., you cannot use it in sectioning commands like \chapter, in figures, tables or in a tabular environment. (See following sections.)
