[comp.text.tex] Footnotes in Tables and Figures

young@emx.utexas.edu (Young U. Ryu) (09/10/90)

I would like to place footnotes just below
tables and figures. A good example is the table
in Page 162 of LaTeXbook.

I have tried "minipage" environment (together with
a re-definition of \footnoterule), but I could not
get footnotes in the table in Page 612 of LaTeX book.

Please post a suggestion in this news group
of send me a mail.

Thanks in advance.

This works without problems:

\documentstyle{article}
\begin{document}
  \begin{table}
    \begin{minipage}{5cm}
      \begin{tabular}{ccc}
        AAAAA & BBBBB\footnote{this is a footnote} & CCCC \\
        DDDDD & EEEEE & FFFFF
      \end{tabular}
    \end{minipage}
  \end{table}
\end{document}

Either with or without the {table}.
