Latex footnotes issues

Scrivener Markdown & LaTeX
1

Hello everyone :slight_smile:

I am almost done with my thesis and I have moved from scrivener to LaTeX to make the final
adjustments. Consequently this is a Latex question, but I thought someone might be able
to help…

I have two problems:

  1. I added \DoubleSpacing to get the spacing required for the submission of the thesis but
    as a result my footnotes are double spaced as well. A quick search suggested that this is not
    the default functionality of the memoir class but for me everything is double spaced…

  2. When I add a footnote inside a table it creates two footnotes, the one duplicate of the other.

Here is the code:


\documentclass[10pt,oneside]{memoir}
\usepackage{layouts}[2001/04/29]
\makeglossary
\makeindex
\setsecnumdepth{subsection}

\def\mychapterstyle{default}
\def\mypagestyle{headings}
\def\revision{}

%%% need more space for ToC page numbers
\setpnumwidth{2.55em}
\setrmarg{3.55em}

%%% need more space for ToC section numbers
\cftsetindents{part}{0em}{3em}
\cftsetindents{chapter}{0em}{3em}
\cftsetindents{section}{3em}{3em}
\cftsetindents{subsection}{4.5em}{3.9em}
\cftsetindents{subsubsection}{8.4em}{4.8em}
\cftsetindents{paragraph}{10.7em}{5.7em}
\cftsetindents{subparagraph}{12.7em}{6.7em}

%%% need more space for LoF numbers
\cftsetindents{figure}{0em}{3.0em}

%%% and do the same for the LoT
\cftsetindents{table}{0em}{3.0em}

%%% set up the page layout
\settrimmedsize{\stockheight}{\stockwidth}{*}	% Use entire page
\settrims{0pt}{0pt}
