I have trouble getting the answer from Footnote without a marker to work for my moderncv document and TeX Live 2017, LuaLaTeX 1.0.4 and Latexmk 4.53a.

The following document:

\documentclass{moderncv}

\newcommand\blfootnote[1]{%
  \begingroup
  \renewcommand\thefootnote{}\footnote{#1}%
  \addtocounter{footnote}{-1}%
  \endgroup
}

\begin{document}
\blfootnote{TEST}
\end{document}

Compiled with latexmk and following latexmkrc file:

$ENV{TEXINPUTS} = ".:../latex:" . ($ENV{TEXINPUTS} or "");

$recorder = 1;

# Use LuaTeX, supported since Latexmk 4.51
$pdf_mode = 4;
$dvi_mode = $postscript_mode = 0;

$bibtex_use = 2;

$lualatex = "lualatex -shell-escape -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %O %S";
$pdflatex = "pdflatex -shell-escape -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %O %S";

Results in following error message:

! Undefined control sequence.
\H@@footnotetext ...color@begingroup \@makefntext 
                                                  {\rule \z@ \footnotesep \i...

l.11 \blfootnote{TEST}

How do I make this work with the moderncv documentclass?

  • I got unrelated errors due to missing definitions. I checked the manual, except there isn't one (manual that is). There are supposed to be examples, but I coudn't find them. – John Kormylo Aug 05 '18 at 18:20
  • You might need to add \name{Jon}{Doe} to the preamble. Though I did not need that to produce the error I quoted. – devurandom Aug 05 '18 at 18:45
  • Note that the \blfootnote command has a flaw: It does not insert the footnote mark, but it does insert a space and a hyperlink, just like regular footnotes have their anchor somewhere in the regular text. This might make it unsuitable to to use it to just display some text at the bottom of the page. – devurandom Aug 08 '18 at 05:56

This was answered on StackOverflow previously (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3779686/using-footnotes-with-moderncv-class-in-latex): moderncv does not support footnotes. It has to be added using the footmisc package:

\usepackage{footmisc} % Footnote support

  • For anyone trying to use moderncv with \addbibresource, THIS is the answer to all of your problems. Thanks @devurandom ! – dmn Apr 06 '19 at 14:38
