Hi.. I have a footnote within a table in a float. I used the method specified on Herbert's tips page to include the footnote within the table. I have the placement of the table float set to default placement. However, with this setting, the footnote appears on the page that preceeds the table (and the table appears at the top of the page that follows the footnote)... the problem goes away if I change the float's placement to "here definitely".. is this a LaTeX shortcoming or is there some way to get the default placement setting to work with the footnote showing up on the correct page?
in general it is senseless to have footnotes in _floating_ environments. Nevertheless you can try, if the footnote is set on the same page. It is better to use a minipage inside the float and using the footnote command inside this minipage. Then you do not have any problem.
If you use the H-option (a bad option for typesetting), then you do not have a floating environment and the footnote appears on the same page.
