Hi Christoph,

There exists a local footnotes environment in floats, as in the following example: I don’t know if it solves the problem you mention…

%%%%%%%%%%%%
\starttext
\startlocalfootnotes
\placetable[align=middle]{A table with footnotes.}
{\starttable[|l|r|]
\HL
\VL One\footnote{First} \VL Two\footnote{Second} \VL\FR
\VL Three\footnote{Third} \VL Four\footnote{Fourth} \VL\LR
\HL
\stoptable}
{\placelocalfootnotes}
\stoplocalfootnotes
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%

Best regards: OK

Thank you Otared for your suggestion!

\startlocalfootnotes ... \stoplocalfootnotes only solves the problem partially.

Solved: I can now use the usual \footnote{...} command and the footnote does not disappear.

Unsolved: All the footnotes in the table still appear on the last page of a multi-page table instead of the actual page where they are written.

To illustrate the latter problem I have a new MWE. The footnote mark in the first table row receives a footnote text on the second page - it should be on the first page.

Does anybody have a solution to this? Is it not supported? (I have ConTeXt Version 2015.05.03 21:46)

Thank you for any feedback,

Christoph

MWE:

\starttext

\startlocalfootnotes

\placetable[split][]{}{

\bTABLE

\bTR \bTD This \eTD \bTD That

\footnote{This footnote should appear on page 1.}

\eTD \eTR

\dorecurse{50}{\bTR \bTD This \eTD \bTD That \eTD \eTR}

\eTABLE}

\placelocalfootnotes

\stoplocalfootnotes

\stoptext
