Continuous footnote numbering

Question

I would like footnote numbering to continue over pages and chapters. In my document it's reset every chapter. I'm using the report documentclass.

Use \counterwithout.

\documentclass{report}
\counterwithout{footnote}{chapter}
\begin{document}
\chapter{foo}
Some text.\footnote{The first footnote.}
\chapter{bar}
Some text.\footnote{The second footnote.}
\end{document}

In a current LaTeX (not older than 2018-04-01), \counterwithout is part of the kernel, so the \usepackage{chngcntr} is not needed any more. See https://www.latex-project.org/news/latex2e-news/ltnews28.pdf – moewe Jan 11 '19 at 15:33
This did not work in my case... I am using University of Chicago's ETD document class from here: https://github.com/mvzink/ucetd-latex – episodeyang Mar 02 '20 at 17:25
If you use \counterwithout with current LaTeX, avoid loading chngcntr package, because it messes up numbers of references to figures. – mmj Mar 09 '20 at 16:37

\counterwithout{footnote}{chapter} provides a separate sequence of footnote numbers in each chapter, apparently only if the chapter does not contain sections, which each have a different sequence of footnotes, using letters instead of numbers, without being commanded to do so.

This isn't what \counterwithout does and, if it was, this wouldn't answer the question, while, if it doesn't, it's just duplicating the existing answer. – cfr Nov 02 '23 at 04:38
