@node Footnotes in a table

@cindex Footnotes, in a table
Inside a @code{table} environment the @code{\footnote} command does not
-work. The solution is to use the @file{tablefootnote} package, as
-illustrated in this example. If you put
- at domain.hid@}} in the preamble and use the code
-shown then the footnote appears at the bottom of the page, numbered in
+work. For instance, if the code below appears on its own then the
+footnote simply disappears; there is a footnote mark in the table cell
+but nothing is set at the bottom of the page.

+The same technique will work inside a floating @code{table} environment
