How to create footnote in a latex?

Question

I am using Overleaf for a latex document. How can I add a footnote to the document?

Answer 1

You can use the \footnote command for creating footnotes. Here are two forms of footnotes:

• \footnote{your text for footnote}: This puts the footnote at the bottom of the page and also inserts an automatically-generated superscript number, called the footnote marker.
• \footnote[number]{your text for footnote}: This puts the footnote at the bottom of the page with the footnote marker given by the number.
