Once in a while, I need a table in LaTeX with some footnotes below the table. Doing an internet search I found a nice solution using the package threeparttable. Here is a small example with the nuclear power plants in Switzerland:
The LaTeX code for this table is self-explaining (note the special structure: table – threeparttable – tabular):

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 |
\begin{table}[!htbp] \caption{Information on Swiss nuclear power plants} \begin{threeparttable}[t] \centering \begin{tabular}{lrlrrr} \toprule Reactor & Initial operation & Type & Capacity (MW) & Possible Closure\tnote{1}\\ \midrule Beznau I & 17.07.1969 & Pressurised water reactor & 365 & 2029 \\ Beznau II & 23.10.1971 & Pressurised water reactor & 365 & 2031 \\ Mühleberg & 01.07.1971 & Boiling water reactor & 373 & 2019\tnote{2}\\ Gösgen & 02.02.1979 & Pressurised water reactor & 1010 & 2039 \\ Leibstadt & 24.05.1984 & Boiling water reactor & 1220 & 2044 \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \begin{tablenotes} \item[1] Assumption: life time of 60 years. \item[2] Official shut-down. \end{tablenotes} \end{threeparttable}% \label{tab:addlabel}% \end{table}% |
Thank you. It was really helpful.
