Hello.
I'm using XeLaTeX with the longtable package, version 4.11. The
documentation says that longtable takes special precautions, so
that footnotes may also be used in 'p' columns. I'm having
problems, though, with this scenario. While the footnote number in
the table has the correct number, the footnote number in the
footnote text at the bottom of the page uses a zero.
A small sample that causes this is below.
What am I doing wrong?
I don't use longtable ... but all I did was remove the bracketed
numbers you have after the \footnote commands and the numbers came
out fine. See your modified example below.
\documentclass[12pt,twoside]{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{longtable}
\setmainfont{Times New Roman}
\font\MainFont="Times New Roman" at 12pt
\begin{document}
\begin{MainFont}
\vspace*{1in}
{\centering{\LARGE{\textbf{Footnotes in tables with longtable and
XeLaTex\\}}}}
\thispagestyle{plain}
\vspace*{1in}
\indent Here's a footnote in regular text.\footnote{{\leftskip0pt
\parindent1em
Text in first footnote.}}\par{}
\begin{longtable}[t]{@{}lp{.975in}@{}}
blah&blue\footnote{{\leftskip0pt\parindent1em
This is the second footnote, but its number is a zero! Its column
spec uses a 'p'.}}\\
green\footnote{\leftskip0pt\parindent1em Here is another footnote
in a table, but it's column spec does not use a 'p'.}&chartreuse\\
\end{longtable}
\end{MainFont}
\end{document}
