Thank you for the advice. I was hoping to avoid having to learn about
columnsets, but I suppose learning is good. Any hints on getting
columnsets and footnotes to play nicely? Here's an example of how I
would normally use footnotes, but the footnote is obscured by the text.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\definecolumnset[Doublecoltext][n=2,balance=no]
\setupcolumnset[Doublecoltext][2][distance=5mm]
\starttext
\chapter[chap:testing]{Testing}
\startcolumnset[Doublecoltext]
This is a short paragraph. I think it should have a
footnote.\footnote{And so it shall! Unfortunately you won't be able
to see it because it is covered up with the text in the
columnsets.}
\input knuth
%\startpostponing
\placefigure
[btlr][fig:foo]
{none}
{\externalfigure[mill][width=1.5\textwidth,height=5cm]}
%\stoppostponing
\input tufte
\input knuth
\input tufte
\input knuth
\input tufte
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Once again, I am sorry if my question is naive. I am working through
the examples in the Columnset manual to try and wrap my head around
them, but it is becoming pretty clear to me that it is a tool for layout
designers far more accomplished than I am.
