LaTeX で楽しいコトのひとつはカウンターわざにある.
といっても数えるほうのカウンターだけど.
たとえば,
\newcounter{aff}
\renewcommand{\theaff}{\fnsymbol{aff}}
\newcommand{\Aff}{$^{\theaff}$\addtocounter{aff}{1}\ }
とプリアンブルで定義しておいて,
このように原稿を書いて,
\setcounter{aff}{1}
CHUNLAN LIAN,\Aff
SUSUMU GOTO,\Aff
TAKUYA KUBO,\Aff
\setcounter{aff}{2}
YASUO TAKAHASHI,\Aff
\setcounter{aff}{4}
MASAHIKO NAKAGAWA\Aff
and TAIZO HOGETSU\Aff
\begin{list}{}{\baselineskip=1mm\parskip=2mm\usecounter{aff}}
\renewcommand{\makelabel}{\theaff}
