I think I can live with this solution. Thanks very much. -----Original Message----- From: ntg-context [mailto:ntg-context-bounces@ntg.nl] On Behalf Of Otared Kavian Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2019 10:46 AM To: mailing list for ConTeXt users Subject: Re: [NTG-context] Footnotes in xtables Hi Clyde, In order to use footnotes in tables, you can use localfootnotes as in the following: \startlocalfootnotes \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell Alpha \stopxcell \startxcell Beta\footnote{Footnote Here} \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell Beta \stopxcell \startxcell Alpha\stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \placelocalfootnotes \stoplocalfootnotes Then the footnotes appear below the table. However it seems that the localfootnotes mechanism is conflicting with \startpalectable...\stoplacetable. Best regards: OK

How do you get footnotes to work in xtables? I get the superscript next to the text but the footnote does not appear at the bottom of the page.

Thanks, Clyde

MWE:

\starttext \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell Alpha \stopxcell \startxcell Beta\footnote{Footnote Here} \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell Beta \stopxcell \startxcell Alpha\stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stoptext _____________________________________________________________ ______________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki!

Is there a way to handle footnotes in tables like regular footnotes, i.e. combine numbering and placement?

Hi Henning, The answer is yes as in the following example (thanks to Wolfgang for pointing to \startpostponingnotes…). %%% begin footnote-global-xtable.tex \starttext A silly one here\footnote{Here is a silly footnote.} \startpostponingnotes \startplacetable[location=middle,reference={tab:1}] \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell Alpha \stopxcell \startxcell Beta\footnote{This is a footnote in \in{Table}[tab:1] } \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell Beta \stopxcell \startxcell Alpha\stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stopplacetable \stoppostponingnotes Another serious one here\footnote{Here is a serious footnote.} \stoptext %%% end footnote-global-xtable.tex Best regards: OK
