# footnote/marginpar inside table inside csquotes blockquote

I need to put a table inside a blockquote, and the table has both footnotes and marginpars (I know, quite the convolution, but such is the manuscript I am transcribing).

The below version gives a Float(s) lost error, but if allowed to run displays the table fine albeit the notes are lost.

I have tried tabularx and tabulary, the savenotes environment from footnote to no avail.

Also: The offset vertical alignment of the third row is due to the marginpar. Can this be fixed?

MWE:

\usepackage{marvosym} % \Pfund symbol

• The reason for the lost float error is the \marginpar that is used inside of a non-floating environment. Replacing \marginpar by \sidepar should fix this. For the footnotes, you might want to use \footnotemark and \footnotetext instead of \footnote. Apr 26 '19 at 8:26
• \sidepar works, thanks for that one. The \footnotetext doesn't show up though... Apr 26 '19 at 8:35

The described error is caused by the usage of \marginpar inside of a non-floating environment. Replacing \maginpar by \sidepar will work. For the footnotes you can then use the footnote package and its savenotes environment.

• Thanks! Any suggestions for the vertical offset in the village line? Apr 26 '19 at 8:59
