I am trying to reset the \autocite footnote number counter every section in article class. I know latex does this automatically with chapters when using the Book class. I have also taken a look at the FAQ counters and footnotes per page but I cannot think of how to do this myself. I am using Bibtex and a MWE is below.

I would like \autocite[1-2]{MyKey} and \autocite[2-3]{MyKey2} to have the same footnote number after compiled, "1". This is because they are both the first in their section, i.e. section is to article class as chapter is to book class. Hopefully this helps.

Thanks

  • It's quite unclear from the example what you want to obtain. – egreg Jul 09 '12 at 08:21
  • For example, when I use \autocite[1-2]{MyKey} it assigns a superscript number to the location in the text and the footnote below. I would like to reset the counter after each section so that the footnote numbering starts at "1" each time. I added some code to try and help – Michael Brittlebank Jul 09 '12 at 10:42

    Yes, it's a duplicate: \usepackage{chngcntr}\counterwithin*{footnote}{section} is what's needed. – egreg Jul 09 '12 at 11:20
