What is the best way to center a table and control/fix the textwidth of
the local footnotes?
I currently have:
\starttext
\startbuffer[Tab01]
\startlocalfootnotes
\bTABLE
\bTR\bTD So\eTD\bTD what%
\footnote{\input knuth} % <=
\eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
{\placelocalfootnotes}
\stoplocalfootnotes
\stopbuffer
\startplacetable[title=Test,
align=middle]
{\getbuffer[Tab01]}
\stopplacetable
\stoptext
If the footnote is commented out, the table is centered (as I want it).
With the footnote, the table is flushleft. I have managed to get what I
need by defining the \hsize of the footnotes and tweaking the loffset of
the table. But a general, less “empirical” approach would be vastly better.
\starttext
\startbuffer[Tab01]
\startlocalfootnotes
\setbox\scratchbox\vbox{\bTABLE
\bTR\bTD So\eTD\bTD what\footnote{\input knuth}\eTD\eTR
\eTABLE}%
\hsize\wd\scratchbox
\box\scratchbox
\par
\placelocalfootnotes
\stoplocalfootnotes
\stopbuffer
\startplacetable[title=Test,align=middle]{\getbuffer[Tab01]}
\stopplacetable
\stoptext
