Tables query (notes, MKII)

Tables query (notes, MKII)

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 700 bytes --]

I need a table that has local notes, but have not been able to get  
them into the proper position (at the left margin of the table) or   
the the proper length ( extending full length of table if needed).  
What am I missing in the following reduced example?

\starttext

\startlocalfootnotes[conversion=character]
\placetable[][]
{}
\placelegend
{\starttables[|p|p|p|p|p|p|]
\NC numbers	
	\NC (*) \footnote{This is the first footnote.}
	\NC stuff \footnote{This is the second footnote.}	
	\NC stuff\footnote{This is the third footnote.}
	\NC more stuff\footnote{This is the fourth footnote}	
	\NC and yet more	\NC\SR
  \HL
\stoptables}
{\placelocalfootnotes}
\stoplocalfootnotes

\stoptext

Alan

After some experimentation, it became clear that to place the local  
notes properly, one must use \note[...] and \footnotetext[...]{}, and  
put the series of \footnotetext entries just before  
\placelocalfootnotes.

Hi Alan,

I tried your code. Here with the latest beta and minimals from  
11-06-2009 MKIV: I get the footnotes at the left margin and they will  
fill the whole width of the table and break lines correctly. However  
the conversion of the numbers into characters does not work. Instead  
the [conversion=characters] is displayed at the top of the file. - I  
assume, that this is an issue related to the new sectioning code...

Otherwise compliation of your code in MKII results in a correct  
conversion of the numbers to characters, but indeed the width is  
restricted to a fairly small column. You can circumvent this by  
adding a width= to the list of options [conversion=characters, width= 
\.9\textwidth]

Kind regards

Willi

Thanks, Willi. I am now using the very latest ConTeXt minimals and  
find that setting width=fit works too.

All best, Alan
