Thanks, Wolfgang -- or is it Hans? ;-) -- for this very instructive  
example!

I just made one change: \noindentation instead of \noindent (my  
understanding is that we're supposed to avoid very low-level indenting  
commands).

So the first paragraph of a footnote insertion contains an implicit title,  
or does the footnote numeral function as title? Anyway, very interesting!  
Thanks again and

Best wishes
Idris
