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 “table notes”. -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 “table” may consist of diagrams, and a parameter in -<code>\</code><code>ctable</code>’s optional argument makes the float that is created a -“figure” rather than a “table”. -<p/>If you really want “real” 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’ve closed the <code>tabular</code> environment. - This is described in Lamport’s book, but it gets messy if there’s - more than one footnote. -<li> Stick the table in a <code>minipage</code>. Footnotes in the - table then “work”, in the <code>minipage</code>’s style, with no - extra effort. (This is, in effect, somewhat like table notes, but - the typeset appearance isn’t designed for the job.) -<li> Use <i>tabularx</i> or <i>longtable</i> from the LaTeX - tools distribution; they’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 ‘tools’ - 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’t actually -recommend any of them, believing that table notes are the way to go… -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>ctable.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/ctable.zip">macros/latex/contrib/ctable</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/ctable/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/ctable.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>footnote.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mdwtools.zip">macros/latex/contrib/mdwtools</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mdwtools/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/footnote.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>longtable.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/tools.zip">macros/latex/required/tools</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/tools/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/longtable.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>mdwtab.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mdwtools.zip">macros/latex/contrib/mdwtools</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mdwtools/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/mdwtab.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>threeparttable.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/threeparttable.zip">macros/latex/contrib/threeparttable</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/threeparttable/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/threeparttable.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>threeparttablex.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/threeparttablex.zip">macros/latex/contrib/threeparttablex</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/threeparttablex/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/threeparttablex.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>tabularx.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/tools.zip">macros/latex/required/tools</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/tools/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/tabularx.html">catalogue entry</a> -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=footintab">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=footintab</a> -</body> |
