Does RoboHelp 9 support creation of footnotes in tables (or anywhere)?

I've looked in the Help, in the forums, and in the product, and can't find any way to insert footnotes in a table.

Thanks. Carol

Footnotes are not really a concept used in onlne help. Maybe use text popups or dropdown text?

Thanks, Peter.

I wanted to include footnotes in several tables, to avoid repeating the same note over and over in table cells. I guess I could'v/should'v used a snippet, and perhaps will go back and edit those cells to use a snippet.

I'm not sure why footnotes would not be a concept in online Help -- they're useful in documentation when the footnotes is in a table or even on the same page.

There is nothing to stop you putting a single cell table at the bottom of the topic and adding notes there in a different style.

Thanks, Peter. That may be a better way than repeating the text I've been repeating. -- Carol
