I'm running into a strange inconsistency when I use footnotes in and out of tabular environments within multicols. In particular, I'm declaring a savenotes environment in a style file as follows:
\makesavenoteenv[tabunote]{tabular}
Then, in the same two-column page of my document, I'm using a footnote from within a tabunote
environment
and another footnote in a bare paragraph
producing the following results:
It appears that my first footnote, from within the savenotes tabular environment, wraps to the column, whereas the bare footnote wraps to the page (which is the behavior I expect under multicols
). Moreover, since the savenotes
footnote comes first, it causes the footnote separator line to be half the expected length—on pages where I reverse the order of footnotes (bare, then tabunote
), the separator is normal-length. The following should yield similar results:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{footnote}
\usepackage{multicols}
\makesavenoteenv[tabunote]{tabular}
\begin{document}
\begin{multicols}{2}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabunote}{c|c}
foo & bar%
\footnote{A long enough footnote here will wrap to the column
rather than to the page---this is easily illustrated by the use
of lots of filler text.}
\end{tabunote}
\end{center}
On the other hand, this footnote will be fine.%
\footnote{Here is the aforementioned example of the footnote that is
fine and represents the expected behavior for footnotes in a multicols
environment.}
\end{multicols}
\end{document}
Is there a way to rectify this issue? In particular, how can I use both bare and tabular/savenotes
footnotes such that both wrap to the page, rather than the column?
\documentclass{...}
and ending with\end{document}

/\footnotetext
approach. Then you could also drop thefootnotes
package and use the normal{tabular}
environment. – cgnieder May 1 '13 at 14:17
