I need a table that has local notes, but have not been able to get them into the proper position (at the left margin of the table) or the the proper length ( extending full length of table if needed). What am I missing in the following reduced example? \starttext \startlocalfootnotes[conversion=character] \placetable[][] {} \placelegend {\starttables[|p|p|p|p|p|p|] \NC numbers \NC (*) \footnote{This is the first footnote.} \NC stuff \footnote{This is the second footnote.} \NC stuff\footnote{This is the third footnote.} \NC more stuff\footnote{This is the fourth footnote} \NC and yet more \NC\SR \HL \stoptables} {\placelocalfootnotes} \stoplocalfootnotes \stoptext Alan
After some experimentation, it became clear that to place the local notes properly, one must use \note[...] and \footnotetext[...]{}, and put the series of \footnotetext entries just before \placelocalfootnotes. A. On Jun 9, 2009, at 11;43,46 , Bowen Alan C. wrote:

Hi Alan, I tried your code. Here with the latest beta and minimals from 11-06-2009 MKIV: I get the footnotes at the left margin and they will fill the whole width of the table and break lines correctly. However the conversion of the numbers into characters does not work. Instead the [conversion=characters] is displayed at the top of the file. - I assume, that this is an issue related to the new sectioning code... Otherwise compliation of your code in MKII results in a correct conversion of the numbers to characters, but indeed the width is restricted to a fairly small column. You can circumvent this by adding a width= to the list of options [conversion=characters, width= \.9\textwidth] Kind regards Willi On Jun 9, 2009, at 5:43 PM, Bowen Alan C. wrote:

Thanks, Willi. I am now using the very latest ConTeXt minimals and find that setting width=fit works too. All best, Alan On Jun 11, 2009, at 11;05,47 , Willi Egger wrote:
