[NTG-context] Multi-page (split) natural tables and footnotes

[Otared Kavian]

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
