The LaTeXFootnoteVisitor.depart_table() method called next(node.findall(nodes.tbody)) which raises StopIteration when a table has header rows but no body rows (as produced by e.g. myst_parser from Markdown). Handle the missing tbody gracefully by placing any collected footnotes after the table node instead. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Fixes #14271.
LaTeXFootnoteVisitor.depart_table()unconditionally callsnext(node.findall(nodes.tbody)), which raisesStopIterationwhen a table has header rows but no body rows. This happens when external parsers like myst_parser produce a docutils table node tree from Markdown tables that have only a header row (e.g.| Key | P | Summary |\n| --- | --- | --- |).The fix:
next(..., None)to safely handle the missingtbodytbodyis present, behavior is unchanged (footnotes are inserted at the head of tbody)tbodyis absent, any collected table footnotes are placed after the table node instead, preserving footnote renderingTest:
