\subsection*{Footnotes}

I'm writing to test\footnote{Footnotes work fine!} several footnote features. 
You can insert the footnote marker\footnotemark{} using the \verb|\footnotemark|
command and later use the \verb|\footnotetext| command to typeset the footnote
text by writing \verb|\footnotetext{Text of second footnote.}|
\footnotetext{Text of second footnote.}

I can use the same footnote\footnotemark{} more than 
once\footnotemark[\value{footnote}].

\footnotetext{A footnote with two references.}
