Subject: table footnotes in the table
While looking at a bug report on table footnotes, I noticed that table footnotes are handled differently in HTML and FO outputs. In FO output, footnotes for the whole table are collected into an fo:block placed after the table. In HTML output, footnotes are output at the bottom of each tgroup element (with footnote letters restarting in each tgroup), and the footnotes are placed in an added row in the tgroup. I find putting the footnotes into a row of the table to be confusing, and unnecessary as far as I can tell. Also, I don't think it is necessary to output footnotes per tgroup (although that situation is probably pretty rare). I'm considering changing the XSL stylesheet for HTML output to place all the footnotes for a table in a div after the table, not after each tgroup. This would more closely match the FO output, and a class attribute on the div would allow a CSS stylesheet to style the footnotes as needed. Any comments?
