margin - Footnote spacing in LaTeX

Question

I'm writing my dissertation and the grad school says I need a space between multiple footnotes and also the space between the text and the start of the footnotes is too small. Is there a way to do this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

footnotesep is the space between footnotes:

setlength{footnotesep}{0.5cm}

footins is the space between the text body and the footnotes:

setlength{skipfootins}{2cm}

You might want to play around with the actual numbers, I've just chosen some values where you will actually see the difference.
