Footnotes in tables?
You could use the tablefootnote package and \tablefootnote{...}
inside the table:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{tablefootnote}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{ c c }
Test1\tablefootnote{Footnote 1} & Test2\tablefootnote{Footnote 2} \\
\end{tabular}
\caption{This is a table.\label{FirstTable}}
\end{table}
A newpage:
\newpage
and a second page, so that you can see that the hyperlinks really work.
\end{document}
I had this kind of problem about 10 years ago, and no package provided any trick at this time. My solution was the following. I managed \footnotemark
s and \footnotetext
s separately. Semantically it is not really satisfactory, but it works quite well. The only problem may be that the table could be placed in another page than the \footnotetext
:-(
\section{Footnotes in hostile environments}
\begin{table}[h]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{c|c|c}
O & X\protect\footnotemark & O \\
\hline
X & O\protect\footnotemark & X \\
\hline
X & O & O
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\caption{Victory for Gilles\protect\footnotemark}
\end{table}
\addtocounter{footnote}{-2}
\footnotetext{X}
\addtocounter{footnote}{1}
\footnotetext{O}
\addtocounter{footnote}{1}
\footnotetext{happy birthday Gilles ;-)}
bla\raisebox{0.8ex}{\addtocounter{footnote}{1}\scriptsize\thefootnote}\footnotetext{forced test}blabla\footnote{footnote test}
and now, more difficult: two footnotes in a \fbox{hostile\footnotemark environment\footnotemark}~...
\addtocounter{footnote}{-1}
\footnotetext{or very hostile}
\addtocounter{footnote}{1}
\footnotetext{area}
With the threeparttable
s you can add table notes.
MWE
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{booktabs,caption,fixltx2e}
\usepackage[flushleft]{threeparttable}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}
\begin{threeparttable}
\caption{Sample ANOVA table}
\begin{tabular}{lllll}
\toprule
Stubhead & \( df \) & \( f \) & \( \eta \) & \( p \) \\
\midrule
& \multicolumn{4}{c}{Spanning text} \\
Row 1 & 1 & 0.67 & 0.55 & 0.41 \\
Row 2 & 2 & 0.02 & 0.01 & 0.39 \\
Row 3 & 3 & 0.15 & 0.33 & 0.34 \\
Row 4 & 4 & 1.00 & 0.76 & 0.54 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\begin{tablenotes}
\small
\item This is where authors provide additional information about
the data, including whatever notes are needed.
\end{tablenotes}
\end{threeparttable}
\end{table}
\end{document}
