Summary

This example shows how to use symbols instead of numbers for your footnotes. The numbering showstring for the keyword showmain will be $142#+f$14f$144#. This will then display your footnote numbers as different symbols.

In order for the '$14f' in the showsting to work, you must load the latexbul.3t file into your document from the 3d directory, using the macro tload otherwise nothing will be shown.
