Remove spacing between footnotes

TeX - LaTeX Asked by Joel Dacasa on December 2, 2020

I am trying to remove all spacing between separate footnotes in a memoir document. Not spacing between lines within a footnote, but spacing between distinct footnotes. I have been told to set the length of footnotesep to zero, but this does not seem to work. Neither does it work to adjust parskip.

Here is a minimum working example:

documentclass[10pt]{memoir}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage{lipsum}

setlength{footnotesep}{0mm} % To my understanding, this should remove the spacing, but it does not seem to.

begin{document}

This isfootnote{lipsum[1]} samplefootnote{lipsum[1]} textfootnote{lipsum[1]}.

end{document}

Which produces the following document (attached as a picture). I want to remove the spacing between footnotes highlighted in red.

Here, to remove the spaces marked in red.

One Answer

The problem here, as pointed out by user campa, is that this is «a side effect of lipsum»; and indeed by using «the starred version lipsum*» all unwanted spacing disappears.

Therefore:

documentclass[10pt]{memoir}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage{lipsum}

setlength{footnotesep}{0mm} % Working as intended.

begin{document}

This isfootnote{lipsum*[1]} samplefootnote{lipsum*[1]} textfootnote{lipsum*[1]}.

end{document}

Credits once again to user campa, because sure enough, the spacing disappears:

No more spacing.
