# Hypertext Help with LaTeX
\footnotetext

`\footnotetext[num]{text}`

The `\footnotetext` command is used in conjunction with the `\footnotemark` command and places the `text` in the argument at the bottom of the page. This command can come anywhere after the `\footnotemark` command.

The optional argument, number, is used to change the default footnote number. Otherwise, the footnote counter is not changed.

This command is fragile.
