Ah, yes, you would need to specify the column count on the entrytbl.
There is no way to populate that from the XInclude.
Regarding the duplicate letters, that is not what I get when I test
this. I XInclude two different tables using this method into two
different <entrytbl> elements in a table. Each has two footnotes, and
they are numbered a, b, c, d. Can you post a short example of your XML?
The XInclude process occurs before the stylesheet sees the XML. The
stylesheet counts table footnotes inside <table> or <informaltable>.
Once the XIncludes are resolved, there is no inner table element, so
they should number properly as in my test.

Great Bob, thank you very much, it works! J
While making some tests I’ve found 2 minor problems:
-if I have to include more than one table in more than one <entrytbl>
and I have a different footnote in each table, each footnote takes the
same reference (e.g. letter “a”) so at the end of the main table I’ll
found all notes with the same reference letter;
-by including the <tgroup> I need to specify the number of the columns
in the <entrytbl> tag (like <entrytbl cols=”3”>). If I don’t it
reports me the error “CALS tables must specify the number of columns”.
Is there a way to make it able to learn the column number by itself?
Thank you again,
Matteo R.

There is one other approach that might work if you are using xsltproc
and the inserted informaltable is a CALS table. The entrytbl element
has the same content model as tgroup (except entrytbl does not accept
tfoot). Since xsltproc's XInclude implementation supports some xpath
syntax, you could try something like this, with the appropriate xpath:
<row>
<entry>...</entry>
<entrytbl><xi:include href="MyFile.xml"
xpointer="xpointer(/article/section[2]/informaltable[1]/tgroup/*"/></entrytbl>
This will include the content of the informaltable's tgroup into the
entrytbl element.
If this works, you will get the footnote at the bottom of the main
table, not the nested table, but at least it won't be duplicated.
If this doesn't suit you, then you'll need to create an XSL
customization layer to customize some XSL templates to handle the
footnote in the nested table.

Thank you Bob,
the <entrytbl> is of course the perfect solution,
but the truth is… I wasn’t be honest J
I hoped to find a simple trick in your first answer.
The real problem for me is that the nested table (the internal
one) is obtained through a link.
The real code I’m using is like this
<row>
<entry><para> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
</para></entry>
<entry><para><xi:include href="MyFile.xml"
xpointer="ID_TAB_XXX"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";
<http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude> />
</para>
</entry>
</row>
In this particular case, of course, it doesn’t accept me to insert
the “include” in a <entrytbl>. So I think the only solution is to
modify the .xsl files… do you agree? Or Do you think the are other
solutions?

*Oggetto:* Re: [docbook-apps] footnote - nested tables
It is possible but it would not be simple. The stylesheets were
not designed to handle a table nested in a para in a table entry.
Normally CALS tables are nested with an entrytbl replacing entry,
not a table element nested inside an entry element. In DocBook 5,
your file will not validate as it would violate the Schematron
rule that prevents putting informaltable inside entry. It should
be invalid in DocBook 4, but there is no way to express such an
exclusion with DTD syntax.
The footnote machinery is already complicated by having to keep
separate the table footnotes from the page footnotes. So you
would need to customize several templates that number and place
footnote markers, as well as places where footnote paragraphs are
rendered, to take into account nested table footnotes. Those
templates are in the footnotes.xsl and table.xsl stylesheet modules.

Hi everybody,
I’m facing a problem: I have a “table-in-a-table” and if I put
a footnote in the text inside the inner table, it is reported
twice: once out of the internal table and once out of the
external one.
Is it possible to make it appear only under the internal table?
I hope my request is clear; I report my example and the
result, to make it easier to understand.
Thank you in advance!
