In an itemize environment,does anybody know how to make the foonotes appear in the same overlay as the corresponding \item? For some reason, I always get all the footnotes to appear together in the last overlay
Remember that \pause hides _everything_ that follows. So you need to cancel that before the end of the slide to make footnotes visible. This has been requested before (search the mailinglist). This is done by the command \showall. Then you have will get 2 footnotes, also number 2 on slide 1. That is beceause powerdot needs to process all the material to know what space it will take. It can't distinguish between true material and things that are postponed (like footnotes), so it can't apply the visibility rules to the footnotes automatically. So you have to hide footnote 2 on the first overlay. See all below. -Hendri. \documentclass{powerdot} \makeatletter \def\showall{\pst@Verb{(0) BOL}} \makeatother \begin{document} \begin{slide}{test} \begin{itemize} \item item 1\footnote{footnote 1}\pause \item item 2\onslide*{2-}{\footnote{footnote 2}} \end{itemize} \showall \end{slide} \end{document}
