On Wed, 26 Oct 2011 H.-Martin Münch submitted the
tablefootnote
package.
Summary description: Placing footnotes in tables
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Provides the command ablefootnote{...} to be used in a table environment,
where footnote{...} would not work and would need to be replaced by
footnotemark in the table and footnotetext{...} after the table environment
ended. Additionally the counters for footnote and (when the hyperref package is
used) Hfootnote would need to be adjusted manually. Just using
ablefootnote{...} in the table does all this automatically. Known issues:
sidewaystables (from the rotating package) do not get their footnotes at the
same page. Pages with tables with footnotes, which are rotated with the
(pdf)lscape-package, will break the hyperlinks to the table-footnotes on that
page. When a table with (table)footnotes floates to another place, its
footnotenumbers are not automatically adapted.
