Just tried to enter a footnote inside a table which sits inside a
float. Converting it to any format shows the footnote number, but not
the text.
I vaguely remember that it was a big hack in LaTeX, but after that
hack, the table footnotes were labeled from a) to z) and the text was
placed right below the table, inside the float.
How do I achieve that in LyX?
use package threeparttable, see example file, which has
some special stuff in the preamble
