- Subject: texlive-latex-extra: Unlike documented, TL2009 footmisc does not accept old symbol definitions
- From: Agustin Martin <agustin.martin@hispalinux.es>

Package: texlive-latex-extra
Version: 2009-7
Severity: normal
Hi,
footmisc.sty shipped with texlive 2009 seems to not behave as documented
regarding symbols (re)definition. Processing attached file gives an error
----------- 8< ---------------------------
(./test0.aux)
! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
$
l.8 b\footnote{
b}
?
! Extra }, or forgotten $.
\@thefnmark ->{\unhbox \voidb@x \hbox {\dagger }
}
...
----------- 8< ---------------------------
Note that symbol definition in attached file is copied from footmisc
documentation as of September 18, 2009, shipped with texlive. I did not find
a new upload in CTAN.
I can workaround this in TL2009 by using something like
\DefineFNsymbols{mystyle}{%
\textdagger
\textdaggerdbl
\textsection
\textbardbl%
\textparagraph}%
but this is not backwards compatible. To actually make the definition (it
was really inside a class I wrote for my notes) backwards compatible, I
had to use in my class a construction like
\@ifundefined{DefineFNsymbolsTM}{%
... old style definition
}{%
... new style definition
}%
Hope this helps,

Agustin

Dear bug submitter,
the bug you have submitted against one of the TeX packages concerns
not the Debian packaging of TeX Live, nor the upstream TeX Live
distribution itself, but Up-upstream, the original author of
the respective package.
TeX Live only collects what authors provide.
Thus, neither we, the Debian TeX Team, nor the Upstream TeX Live team
can fix anything regarding this bug.
Furthermore, the bug you have reported is rather old.
We suggest you to do the following:
* verify that the bug is still present with current TeX Live (2013)
installation on Debian
* if yes, please report the bug to the *original* author of the TeX
package, and *not* to upstream TeX Live nor Debian
Other ways to deal with these bugs are requesting help from TeX experts,
your local TeX consultant, or local TeX User Groups. One good place to
ask questions is the newsgroup comp.text.tex, or the StackExchange
website http://tex.stackexchange.com
Thanks a lot for your understanding
Norbert
