Two footnotes in minipage environment,but only one command

Post by tjaenare »

Hi everyone!
Somewhere back in my mind I remember that I have read something about the issue, but cannot find it again.

I want to put a footnote into a table, which apparently I have succeeded with. Unfrotunately, however, with only one footnote command it produces two footnote outputs of which only appears in the table itself. Here the example:

----------------

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,final,index=totoc,version=first,headsepline,1.5headlines,oneside]{scrbook}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[dutch,ngerman,british]{babel}
\usepackage{tabulary}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[htb]
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
%\caption{Main Divisions within the NHS}
\begin{center}
\label{DivisionsNHS}
\begin{tabulary}{\textwidth}{rL}
%\toprule
Text & still more text. \\
Text with\footnote{footnote} & more text \\
%\bottomrule
\end{tabulary}\end{center}
\footnotesize
\end{minipage}\end{table}\normalsize
\end{document}

-----------------------

Has someone an idea how to solve that problem?
Thanks a lot in advance!

No one with an idea? I have tried a number of things and asked colleagues who are using LaTeX as well, but so far nothing has worked out...

I received some help in another forum. The answer was:
David Carlisle wrote the following in the manual for the package tabulary:
"The whole table is evaluated twice, so take care with some TEX constructions that may have side effects like writing to files."
Thereby, the footnote-command is executed twice.
