aligning a table alignment with local footnotes

aligning a table alignment with local footnotes

[Alan Bowen]

What is the best way to center a table and control/fix the textwidth of the
local footnotes?

I currently have:

\starttext

\startbuffer[Tab01]
\startlocalfootnotes
\bTABLE
\bTR\bTD So\eTD\bTD what%
\footnote{\input knuth} % <=
\eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
{\placelocalfootnotes}
\stoplocalfootnotes
\stopbuffer

\startplacetable[title=Test,
align=middle]
                  {\getbuffer[Tab01]}
\stopplacetable

\stoptext

If the footnote is commented out, the table is centered (as I want it).
With the footnote, the table is flushleft. I have managed to get what I
need by defining the \hsize of the footnotes and tweaking the loffset of
the table. But a general, less “empirical” approach would be vastly better.

I usually use:

\startplacetable
\hbox{\startplacelegend[location=bottom]
    \startcontent
      TABLE
    \stopcontent
    \startcaption
      footnote
    \stopcaption
\stopplacelegend}
\stopplacetable

Many thanks, Hans. This is very fine solution for the tables that I have,
since they are quite wide.

Thanks for this too, Aditya. I have some tables that this may work very
well with.

All best, Alan
