Footnote under a table format

[ptc-5110902]

Hi all,

Is there any good way to show footnotes under a table which contains the several number of notes without DITA specialisation?

I already tried the footnote element <fn> to show the notes right under the table.

I was told to use <fn> to make it and style it with Styler for the design to show the footnotes right under the table.

However, the table was a bit too long to fit in one page so it was divided in two pages.

Then the head numbers of footnotes were different in each page even they were the xref of one same footnote element. (See the image)

I have no idea how to fix this one.

Even if the footnote is valid for this, I have no clue how to style it with Arbortext Styler.

Also I am looking for the way to do this without specialising DTD.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi Tomomi

If I understand what you are trying to do correctly, you could use the Gentext Add element After on the Table element. This is assuming that this is a single occurence and that you do not necessarily want the text to be counted as a footnote.

Hope this helps...

Hi Tomomi, If you have the same footnote used multiple times in one topic, you create the fn for the first one. Then use the resourse manager and insert the same fn as a xref's. You should get the output you are desiring.

I will try to give you the pieces you need, I am not super familiar with styler, but I don't think I would be allowed to send you our style sheet. Here is what the PTC support people told me to do. If you go to help center, search for "Creating and Modifying a Hybrid Model Footnote". It will walk you through how to do it.

Thank you a lot for your suggestion. I will have a look at that help centre page.

I didn't know that exchanging data was not allowed. In that case, no need to bother.

I really appreciate your kind attenion.

Hello Tshediso,

Thank you very much for your advice and I am sorry for replying you late.

I had tried the Gentext already before posting this question but my Styler was not happy enough to make what I wanted.

I will try to find some other way.

Thanks anyway.

Regards,

Tomomi
