I'm not quite I understand: Are you saying I should leave the caption in "global scope"? Regarding the second version: Shouldn't that be: \startlocalfootnotes \footnotetext[asdf]{asdf} % this %\footnotetext[asdf]{\footnote{asdf}} % instead of this \startplacetable[title={A breakfast table.\note[asdf]}] \placelegend {\starttable[|l|r|] \HL \VL Spam \footnote {lovely} \VL Bacon \footnote {wonderful} \VL\FR \VL Eggs \footnote {wonderful} \VL Spam \footnote {lovely} \VL\LR \HL \stoptable} {\placelocalfootnotes} \stopplacetable \stoplocalfootnotes ? Best, Denis

Hi,

another experiment with footnotes in captions, this time local footnotes :

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\setupcaptions[location=top]

\starttext

                \startlocalfootnotes

                \placetable

    % The caption

    {A breakfast table.\footnote{asdf}}

    % the table

    \placelegend

        {\starttable[|l|r|]

            \HL

            \VL Spam \footnote {lovely} \VL Bacon \footnote {wonderful} \VL\FR

            \VL Eggs \footnote {wonderful} \VL Spam \footnote {lovely} \VL\LR

            \HL

        \stoptable}

        % the footnotes

        {\placelocalfootnotes}

\stoplocalfootnotes

\stoptext

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Two observations :

1. the footnote numbering is a bit odd, shouldn’t the footnote in the caption be numbered with 1?

2. The footnote in the caption is not included in the local footnotes. Why is that? \starttext

\startplacetable[title={A breakfast table.\footnote{asdf}}] \startlocalfootnotes \placelegend {\starttable[|l|r|] \HL \VL Spam \footnote {lovely} \VL Bacon \footnote {wonderful} \VL\FR \VL Eggs \footnote {wonderful} \VL Spam \footnote {lovely} \VL\LR \HL \stoptable} {\placelocalfootnotes} \stoplocalfootnotes \stopplacetable

\startlocalfootnotes \footnotetext[asdf]{\footnote{asdf}} \startplacetable[title={A breakfast table.\note[asdf]}] \placelegend {\starttable[|l|r|] \HL \VL Spam \footnote {lovely} \VL Bacon \footnote {wonderful} \VL\FR \VL Eggs \footnote {wonderful} \VL Spam \footnote {lovely} \VL\LR \HL \stoptable} {\placelocalfootnotes} \stopplacetable \stoplocalfootnotes

\stoptext
