How to restart \footnote numbering every page

Question

I have more than 9 footnotes, so I need to restart the footnote numbering. I know that I can force that adding [1] in the 10th item, but I want something automatic.

How can I do it? Adding some word every page..¿?

Solution 1

One solution is the perpage package, that provides a general mechanism for resetting counters per page. Put the command \usepackage{perpage} and \MakePerPage{footnote} into your document preamble, immediately after the \documentclass line and before the \begin{document} line.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{perpage} %the perpage package
\MakePerPage{footnote} %the perpage package command
\begin{document}

The interface is pretty simple: \MakePerPage{footnote} will do the job. If you want to restart the counter at something other than 1 (for example to avoid something in the LaTeX footnote symbol list), you can use: \MakePerPage[2]{footnote}. It’s a first-rate package, small and efficient.

Solution 2

Reset the footnote counter, or make it reset by page:

• Master and slave counters
• Footnotes numbered “per page”
