Footnotes tricks in Longtable LaTeX environment

Example of various types of footnotes that can go into longtables.

For captions outside the longtable environment.

\textbf{Figure SA1.6b: Some table caption\footnote{Footnote content goes here}}\\

Drawbacks --> footnotes are placed in the footnote area and not right under the table.

A workaround to this is to remove the footnote rule just above the footnote to make it seem as if the footnote is just below the table.

\renewcommand\footnoterule{}


The modify the space between the footnotes and the footnotes and the body of the text

%\footins is the space between the text body and the footnotes:

\setlength{\skip\footins}{2cm}


The above two should make it seem as if the footnote is right under the table, when in fact it is outside the table. Hehe. Take that, latex devil.

Modify the space between the footnotes themselves.

%\footnotesep is the space between footnotes:

\setlength{\footnotesep}{0.5cm}
