I tried to refer the same footnote for many places in the tabu and use this one as a reference, Multiple references to the same footnote inside a table environment.
Here is my code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{scrextend}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{tabu}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[t]
\caption{Input parameters}
\tabulinesep=1.2mm
\begin{tabu} to\linewidth {|X[2l] X[2l]|}
\hline
\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Test} \\
A & B \footnote{\label{first}first footnote}\\
C & D \footref{first}\\
\hline
\end{tabu}
\end{table}
\end{document}
I get the result as in picture without any footnote at the bottom of the page.
However, if I use the code like this:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{scrextend}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{tabu}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabu} to\linewidth {|X[2l] X[2l]|}
\hline
\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Test} \\
A & B \footnote{\label{first}first footnote}\\
C & D \footref{first}\\
\hline
\end{tabu}
\end{document}
I get no problem (with footnote at the bottom of the page).
I've also tried cleveref already but I got ??.
Anything wrong with my first code?


tableandfigure) disappear. You can split them up in a\footnotemark(inside the float) and\footnotetext(outside the float) but then you risk the float being moved to a different page than the footnote text. – Pieter van Oostrum Nov 06 '16 at 18:27tablenotefrom\usepackage{threeparttable}instead. – NaC Nov 07 '16 at 04:43
