double spacing footnotes

[Emmanuelle Pierard]

Hello,

I am trying to force latex to double space both the text and the
footnotes of a document. I have these in my document

\usepackage{setspace}
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{2}
\begin{doublespace}

*text is here*

\end{doublespace}

This makes the text double-spaced but not the footnotes. Could you
please suggest anything?

Thank you for your help,

Emma

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/caption/

searching the manual for 'double' gives page 10:

doublespacing Double spacing (See section 6.12: setspace)

I haven't tried it but did successfully use the package recently.

Hellow Emmanuelle,
I usually use a new command defined by

\newcommand{\note}[1]{\footnote{\begin{doublespace}#1\end{doublespace}}}

with the setspace package loaded. This has worked for me for a couple of
years. There might well be better solutions.

Best,
Peter
