Is there a way to prevent LaTeX from splitting long footnotes across multiple column/pages? -

I am using latex and in some cases there are multi-paron footnotes.

When I have a two-column format and especially when the context of a footnote is less in the column, then latex will often split footnotes in half: it starts in the original column, but then another column Continues (sometimes in any other page), which is very distracting. / P>

Is there any way to compel latex to split footnotes and allocate enough space for them?

To completely deny it use \ interfootnotelinepenalty = 10000 . But be prepared for other layout artifacts ... By imposing a fine of less than 10,000, Tex will have some flexibility in making decisions when tolerating side effects is very bad.
