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
