Using Threeparttable package in LaTeX

July 13th, 2004 | Science

Using this package in LaTeX the creation of tables in LaTeX will not bother you more about the width of the text.

A minimal example is offered below:

——————
\begin{threeparttable}
\caption{} \label{put_a_lable_here}
\begin{tabular}
Table contents here
you can add tnote{put_a_sign_here} for some thing
\end{tabular}
\begin{tablenotes}
\item[]
\item[put_a_sign_here]
\end{tablenotes}
\end{threeparttable}
——————

So it is easy to do. Isn’t it?

Hallo, thx for the simple methode to add a footnote in the table, but there’s some problems: 1. the sign \tnote{sign} has nothing to do with the sign \item[sign]. So it’ s not automatically like the real footnote. 2. for example: \item [1]blablabla but at last there will only be a “blablabla”, [1] is eaten by item. Unless you add a extra [] before [1]. But like what you write, \item[] \item[1] in this case [1] will also be eaten by item. Do you have any idea about this 2 problems? Thanks very much and looking forward to your reply.

Well, I made a mistake that I put \end{threeparttable} before \begin{tablenotes}. Now everything is right. Thx.

\end{threeparttable} is supposed to be at the end of the whole table. So the entire tablenote section comes first.
