How To Install texlive-bigfoot on CentOS 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install texlive-bigfoot on CentOS 8.
What is texlive-bigfoot
The package aims to provide a ‘one-stop’ solution to requirements for footnotes. It offers apparatus superior to that of the manyfoot; - Footnotes can be formatted in separate paragraphs, or be run into a single paragraph (this choice may be selected per footnote series); - Things you might have expected (like \verb-like material in footnotes, and colour selections over page breaks) now work. Note that the majority of the bigfoot package’s interface is identical to that of manyfoot; users should seek information from that package’s documentation. The bigfoot bundle also provides the perpage and suffix packages.
