In Texinfo, footnotes are created with the @footnote command.
This command is followed immediately by a left brace, then by the text
of the footnote, and then by a terminating right brace. The template
is:
@footnote{text}
Footnotes may be of any length, but are usually short.
For example, this clause is followed by a sample footnote(10); in the Texinfo source, it looks like this:
...a sample footnote @footnote{Here is the sample
footnote.}; in the Texinfo source...
Warning: Don't use footnotes in the argument of the
@item command for a @table table. This doesn't work;
because of limitations of TeX, there is no way to fix it. To avoid
the problem, move the footnote into the body text of the table.
In a printed manual or book, the reference mark for a footnote is a small, superscripted number; the text of the footnote appears at the bottom of the page, below a horizontal line.
In Info, the reference mark for a footnote is a pair of parentheses with the footnote number between them, like this: `(1)'.
