At the end of the text (or chapter) the last batch of footnotes is not always placed, not even when an index follows. They must be forced with \placefootnotes. It happened both with footnotes bytext and bychapter. Is this the normal behaviour? Must I end (for footnotes bychapter) each chapter with \placefootnotes? yours sincerely, dr. H. van der Meer

A small sample file is difficult because I had the impression it did not always happen; with me these things seem to happen mostly with big files :-) Another complication is that sometimes a footnote was withheld and I could not find out what caused it. When I retyped "sentence.\footnote" sometimes the footnote did appear as it should. I sent the problem to this newsgroup just in case it was a readily recognized phenomenon. It seems not, so I propose to let it go for the moment. I will watch out for it to happen and then will first try to nail it down to a small sample before reporting again. yours sincerely, dr.

that has to do with the fact that tex has to find an optimum you can play with the 'split' parameter and set it to tolerant, strict, verystrict
