%
% \section{Introduction}
%
% Sometimes the same footnote applies to more than one location in a table. With
% this package the mark of a footnote can be saved into a name, and re-used
% subsequently without creating another footnote at the bottom.
% 
% This even works between tables (in minipages) and footnotes in surrounding
% text. The appearance of the footnote mark is kept, that is when a footnote of
% a previous table is mentioned in the text following the table, the mark looks
% the same as it does in the table.
% 
% The footnote marks are saved globally into a given control sequence. This
% control sequence must not have already been used and is defined for the whole
% of the document.
% 
% \pagebreak
%
% Currently forward references are not possible. In other words footnotes which
% appear later in the text can't be referenced.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\saveFN}
% The following two commands are defined by this package:
% 
% \begin{pckcmd}
%     |\saveFN{|\meta{name}|}|
% \end{pckcmd}
% 
% saves the number of the footnote which was last introduced into \meta{name}.
% \meta{name} can be any valid control sequence not already used.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\useFN}
% To place the same footnote mark again later in the text, use
% 
% \begin{pckcmd}
%     |\useFN{|\meta{name}|}|
% \end{pckcmd}
%
%

% \section{To Do and Bugs}
% 
% Any bugs?
% 
% Is it worth implementing a forward reference capability?
%
%
% %^^A This command extracts all index entries:
% %^^A sed < savefnmark.idx -e 's,indexentry{,,' -e 's,=.*$,,'
%
% \DoNotIndex{\ ,\.,\_}%^^A  DOES NOT WORK!!
% \DoNotIndex{\@footnotetext,\@mpfn,\@xfootnote,\begingroup,\csname,\def}
% \DoNotIndex{\endcsname,\endgroup,\expandafter,\let,\newcommand,\noexpand}
% \DoNotIndex{\relax,\show,\the,\thempfn,\xdef}
%
% \StopEventually{}

% 
% \begin{macro}{\useFN}
% Start a new group and temporarily disable the creation of the footnote text by
% \cs{@xfootnote}, then run the command defined when saving the mark. This
% restores the footnote type and its number, then prints the corresponding mark.
