Re: footnote in caption

2007-10-24 Thread Tobias Krause
I had the same problem. It's a LaTeX limitation: footnotes in floats do 
not work... (for German users: 
http://www.dante.de/faq/de-tex-faq/html/makros2.html#57)


If any possible it'd be the best way not to use footnotes in captions -- 
if you have to I prefer this way:


   set the footnotemark in the caption via

   \setcounter{footnote}{\value{footnote}}\protect\footnotemark

   set the footnotetext via

   \footnotetext{This is the footnote text.}

   unfortunately this has to be set on the correct page (the page used
   by LaTeX for the float) by hand, which means you might have to
   change this at the very end and you cannot rely on LaTeX to do
   everything...

As far as I know there is no other way to get it working the expected 
way. All other options are something like putting footnotemark and 
footnotetext in a minipage which is quite sure not what you wanted.

Hi All,

First of all, thanks to all the great people who make LyX J My thesis would
look terrible and be impossibly difficult to write without it J

I don't know if this is a known bug  or not, but when I tried to insert a
footnote inside a graphics float's caption, the file won't compile and give:

Argument of [EMAIL PROTECTED] has an extra }.

Paragraph ended before [EMAIL PROTECTED] was complete.
  
I'm pretty sure this isn't a LyX bug but a LaTeX limitation. It may be 
that \footnote needs to be \protected in this context, in which case it 
is a LyX bug. So you might try putting \protect in ERT immediately 
before the footnote, and see if that helps. If not, then it's a LaTeX issue.

attached pdf, where's the footnote?)
Thanks,

I was afraid something like that would happen. So it's probably an issue 
with captions and footnotes. Someone here will know what to do.
