-<h3>Footnotes in tables</h3>
-<p/>The standard LaTeX <code>\</code><code>footnote</code> command doesn&#8217;t work in tables;
-the table traps the footnotes and they can&#8217;t escape to the bottom of
-the page. As a result, you get footnote marks in the table, and
-nothing else.
-<p/>This accords with common typographic advice: footnotes and tables are
-reckoned not to mix.
-<p/>The solution, if you accept the advice, is to use &#8220;table notes&#8221;.
-The package <i>threeparttable</i> provides table notes, and
-<i>threeparttablex</i> additionally supports them in
-<code>longtable</code>s. <i>Threeparttable</i> works happily in
-ordinary text, or within a <code>table</code> float.
-<p/>The <i>ctable</i> package extends the model of
-<i>threeparttable</i>, and also uses the ideas of the
-<i>booktabs</i> package. The <code>\</code><code>ctable</code> command does the complete
-job of setting the table, placing the caption, and defining the
-notes. The &#8220;table&#8221; may consist of diagrams, and a parameter in
-<code>\</code><code>ctable</code>&#8217;s optional argument makes the float that is created a
-&#8220;figure&#8221; rather than a &#8220;table&#8221;.
-<p/>If you really want &#8220;real&#8221; footnotes in tables, despite the expert
-advice, you can:
-<ul>
-<li> Use <code>\</code><code>footnotemark</code> to position the little marker
- appropriately, and then put in <code>\</code><code>footnotetext</code> commands to fill in
- the text once you&#8217;ve closed the <code>tabular</code> environment.
- This is described in Lamport&#8217;s book, but it gets messy if there&#8217;s
- more than one footnote.
-<li> Stick the table in a <code>minipage</code>. Footnotes in the
- table then &#8220;work&#8221;, in the <code>minipage</code>&#8217;s style, with no
- extra effort. (This is, in effect, somewhat like table notes, but
- the typeset appearance isn&#8217;t designed for the job.)
-<li> Use <i>tabularx</i> or <i>longtable</i> from the LaTeX
- tools distribution; they&#8217;re noticeably less efficient than the
- standard <code>tabular</code> environment, but they do allow
- footnotes.
-<li> Use <i>footnote</i>, which provides an
- <code>savenotes</code> which collects all footnotes and emits them
- at the end of the environment; thus if you put your
- <code>tabular</code> environment inside the environment, the
- footnotes will appear as needed. Alternatively, you may use
- <code>\</code><code>makesavenoteenv{tabular}</code> in the preamble of your
- document, and tables will all behave as if they were inside a
- <code>savenotes</code> environment.
-<li> Use <i>mdwtab</i> from the same bundle; it will handle
- footnotes as you might expect, and has other facilities to increase
- the beauty of your tables. Unfortunately, it may be incompatible
- with other table-related packages, though not those in the standard &#8216;tools&#8217;
- bundle.
-</ul>
-All the techniques listed will work, to some extent, whether in a float or
-in ordinary text. The author of this FAQ answer doesn&#8217;t actually
-recommend any of them, believing that table notes are the way to go&#8230;
