README for tablefootnote package, 2011/11/06, v1.0c TABLE OF CONTENTS ================= 1 Introduction 2 Download 3 Installation 4 Additional Packages 5 Package Compatibility 6 Author/Maintainer 7 Bug Reports 8 Known Problems 1 INTRODUCTION ============== This LaTeX package provides the command \tablefootnote{...} to be used in a table or sidewaystable environment. In those environments \footnote{...} would not work and would need to be replaced by \footnotemark in the (sideways)table and \footnotetext{...} after the (sideways)table environment ended. Additionally the counters for footnote and (when the hyperref package is used) Hfootnote would need to be adjusted manually. (Even more changes would be needed in a sidewaystable.) Just using \tablefootnote{...} in the (sideways)table does all this automatically. This material is subject to the LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL). See http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/ licenses.lppl.html for the details of that license. 2 DOWNLOAD ========== `tablefootnote' is available on CTAN: CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/tablefootnote/ Running tex tablefootnote.dtx generats the files tablefootnote.ins tablefootnote.drv tablefootnote.sty and tablefootnote-example.tex. Also a ZIP file is provided that contains these files, the manual (tablefootnote.pdf), the compiled example, (tablefootnote-example.pdf), and this README, already sorted in a TDS tree: CTAN:install/macros/latex/contrib/tablefootnote.tds.zip `CTAN:' means one of the `Comprehensive TeX Archive Network' nodes or one of its mirrors. This is explained in http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=archives The CTAN stuff will be mirrored automatically from the ftp server, so ftp://ftp.tug.org/pub/tex/tablefootnote/ corresponds to CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/tablefootnote/ 3 INSTALLATION ============== Installation with ZIP file in TDS format ---------------------------------------- The ZIP file `tablefootnote.tds.zip' contains the files sorted in a TDS tree. Thus you can directly unpack the ZIP file inside a TDS tree. (See CTAN:tds.zip for an explanation of TDS.) Example: cd /...somewhere.../texmf unzip /...downloadpath.../tablefootnote.tds.zip Do not forget to refresh the file name database of this TDS tree. Example: texhash /...somewhere.../texmf Manual installation ------------------- a) Download the tablefootnote files from CTAN. If necessary, unpack them. b) Generate the package and driver files: tex tablefootnote.dtx c) Install the file `*.sty' in your TDS tree: cp *.sty TDS:tex/latex/tablefootnote/ Replace `TDS:' by the prefix of your TDS tree (texmf directory). d) Copy the documentation files to "TDS:doc/latex/tablefootnote/": README, tablefootnote.pdf, tablefootnote-example.tex, tablefootnote-example.pdf. e) Update the databases if necessary, e.g. for teTeX: mktexlsr .../texmf 4 ADDITIONAL PACKAGES ===================== tablefootnote loads other packages: * ltxcmds, http://ctan.org/pkg/ltxcmds When the rotating package is used (for its sidewaystable environment; http://ctan.org/pkg/rotating) also these packages are loaded: - amstext, http://ctan.org/pkg/amstext - setspace, http://ctan.org/pkg/setspace - subcaption, http://ctan.org/pkg/subcaption which again load other packages. When the etoolbox package is not available, the package - letltxmacro, http://ctan.org/pkg/letltxmacro is used (possibly loading further packages). (See the result of the \listfiles command in the log-file of the example). 5 PACKAGE COMPATIBILITY ======================= Pages with tables with footnotes, which are rotated with the (pdf)lscape-package, will break the hyperlinks to the table-footnotes on that page. Using the hyperref-option pdfview=FitH or FitBH makes the hyperlinks of footnotes in sidewaystables do no lead to the footnotes, due to a bug in pdfTeX, computing wrong anchor coordinates (Heiko Oberdiek, 29. October 2011) The printed version is OK. 6 AUTHOR/MAINTAINER ===================== * Hans-Martin Münch 7 BUG REPORTS ============== A bug report should contain: * Comprehensive problem description. This includes error or warning messages. * \errorcontextlines=\maxdimen can be added in the TeX code to get more information in TeX error messages. * Minimal test file that shows the problem, but does not contain any unnecessary packages and code. * Used drivers/programs. * Version information about used packages and programs. * If you are using LaTeX, then add "\listfiles". Then a list of version information is printed at the end of the LaTeX run. * Please no other files than the minimal test file. The other files .log, .dvi, .ps, .pdf are seldom necessary, so send them only on request. * Please .zip or .tar.gz your file(s) before sending them!

Using the hyperref-option pdfview=FitH or FitBH makes the hyperlinks of footnotes in sidewaystables do no lead to the footnotes, due to a bug in pdfTeX, computing wrong anchor coordinates (Heiko Oberdiek, 29. October 2011) The printed version is OK. When a table with (table)footnotes floates to another place, its footnotenumbers are not automatically adapted. Ideas for solutions welcome!
