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>Otherwise, if your table is not floating (it's just a +'<code>tabular</code>' in the middle of some text), there are several +things you can do to fix the problem. +<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> anyway. This provides all the + ugliness of footnotes in a minipage with no extra effort. +<li> Use <i>threeparttable</i> anyway; the package is intended for + floating tables, and the result might look odd if the table is not + floating, but it will be reasonable. +<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> Grab hold of <i>footnote</i>, and put your + <code>tabular</code> environment inside a <code>savenotes</code> + environment. Alternatively, say + <code>\</code><code>makesavenoteenv{tabular}</code> in the preamble of your + document, and tables will all handle footnotes correctly. +<li> Use <i>mdwtab</i> from the same bundle; it will handle + footnotes properly, and has other facilities to increase the beauty + of your tables. It may also cause other table-related packages (not + the standard 'tools' ones, though) to become very unhappy and stop + working. +</ul> +<p>The documentation of <i>threeparttable</i> appears in the package +file itself; that of <i>ctable</i> is distributed as a PDF +file (for convenience's sake). +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>ctable.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ctable.zip">macros/latex/contrib/ctable</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ctable.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ctable/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>footnote.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mdwtools.zip">macros/latex/contrib/mdwtools</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mdwtools.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mdwtools/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>longtable.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/tools.zip">macros/latex/required/tools</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/tools.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/tools/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>mdwtab.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mdwtools.zip">macros/latex/contrib/mdwtools</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mdwtools.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mdwtools/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>threeparttable.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/threeparttable.sty">macros/latex/contrib/misc/threeparttable.sty</a> +<dt><tt><i>tabularx.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/tools.zip">macros/latex/required/tools</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/tools.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/tools/">browse</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> |
