Four back-slashes (4\) did the trick!


One more question:

If at the beginning of a chapter I reset the footnote number with:

.nr $f 1

The next call to a footnote still continues with the sequenced
number, it is the second call the one that will have the correct
number. What I've done is to make dummy calls to a footnote:

.(f
.)f

right before an actual one, is there any more kosher way of doing
it?
