How can I set up notes and footnotes for a table so that they appear immediately below the table and not at the bottom of the page? The way you do it (at least that's how I do it) in LaTex with a minipage environment. You could set up a separate line for notes, but for footnotes it's very cumbersome.
Sorry if this is a trivial question, but as a beginner I couldn't find a solution.

Maybe with a figure?
?r #figure(table(columns: 2, [a], [b], [c], [d]), caption: [A table with letters])

[a], [b], [c], [d]), caption: [A table with let...

In my area (apa-style) the cation of the table is at the top (easy to do), below are notes (such as explanations of abbreviations and footnotes).

I tried to put it into a figure, but footnotes are still on the bottom of the page, not at the bottom of the table.

Hmm, well I guess you could always create a block containing the table and the note
?r #block(breakable: false, [#align(center, table(columns: 2, [a], [b], [c], [d])) #align(center)[_This is a note_] ])

?r ```
#block(breakable: false,
[#align(center, table(columns: 2, [a], [b], [c]...

ok. I will try that. I thought #figure() would create a block implicitely.
cedar robin
I think it does
But I'm not sure if there's a way to also add notes to a figure like you've described them
You could create a function to simplify the process, hold on

Then footnotes are ignoring the block. That's maeningfull for normal writing, but not for footnotes in tables.

I'm not sure I understand
lapis abyss
did you see the examples on the apa site?
cedar robin
Ah alright, I see now

Do you want the numbering of the footnote to be automatic or is it ok to number and place them manually?
lapis abyss
Of course I want it to be automatic 😉 We all want that.... But a manual workaround will help, eventually

This is mostly manual, but at least one doens't have to adjust the numbering by hand
I updated it to link to the footnotes
This also prevents you from accidentally creating a marker without content, but not the other way round
lapis abyss
Thank you. I will try that (and try to understand it)! Unfortunately, it seems not be very easy. It is difficult to suggest Typst to my students ... (That's why, I didn't recommend LaTex)

Oops didn't see the footnote on the bottom
That's unfortunate, it looks like a bug
Anyway the idea is basically just collect the footnotes in a state and then generate the entries after the table, using the nested show rule. Most of the rest of the code is just for labels between the two footnotes to work
