[…] Part 4 we talked about the tabular environment which, as I mentioned, is more or less equivalent to tables […]

You must continue this series of tutorials, I learned a lot! :)

moar tex tutorials please! these are great.

@ Bonnie:

Well, the official way of doing this is using \footnotemark command like in this example but it does get messy.

I guess the short answer is not to use tabular but instead go for one of the packages that extend it. I know that tabularx and longtable support footnotes.

There are some more suggestions here, maybe you can check them out.

Hey,
Just wondering, do you have any idea how I could get LaTeX to add a footnote for something in a table (using the \tabular command)? It puts the footnote mark where I ask it to, but the footnote text disappears into oblivion. That was using the \footnote command. I’ve also tried using the \footnotemark and \footnotetext commands, but then the numbering is wrong (it works ok for the last reference in the table, but is wrong for all the others). Thanks!

I think you are looking for this page.

Hi, I downloaded several Latex template made by you several days ago. Such as exam, thesis and so on. But I deleted them by mistake, and it is so sad that I cannot even find the website where I downloaded these files. So would you like to do me a favor, and give me a website link? Thanks very much.
