Improvement of references and footnotes in mathematical and other texts by creating macros in the LaTeX programming language

Abstract

The LaTeX programming language considered in this article is used to represent mathematical and other texts in scientific research. Many LaTeX packages provide advanced code-formatting features. Expanding the LaTeX programming language with macros automates the performance of a large number of tasks. In this research, the author programs in the LaTeX system when creating new macros. New macros created by the author improve adding references to everything that can be numbered and improve adding different types of footnotes in texts. Source codes of these new macros are given in this article. These macros can be embodied in a LaTeX style file, and they expand the capabilities of LaTeX.
