This is a test. It is only a test.
\ID[id1]This paragraph should be indented, with an ID number
in the margin. When \tex{ID} is placed at the beginning of
the
paragraph, as it is here, the paragraph is not indented.
This paragraph has a footnote.\footnote{%
\ID[id2]The ID number is not printed in the margin with
{\tt alternative=inright}, {\tt alternative=inmargin},
or {\tt alternative=inleft}. Without any {\tt
alternative} the ID number is printed where the macro
appears. The positioning is unsatisfactory using {\tt
alternative=right}.%
} The footnote has an ID number which should be printed in
the
right margin.
This \ID[id3]paragraph has an ID, but it is not at the
beginning
of the paragraph and the paragraph is properly indented. The
value of the ID number indicates that \tex{ID} in the
footnote
of the previous paragraph incremented the associated counter,
but the failure of the references (\tex{in} and \tex{at})
to id2
suggests that there are other problems.
\dorecurse{3}{
ID id#1 is \in[id#1] and is on page \at[id#1].\par}
References for footnotes are generated without
\tt{alternative=}.

\startsubject[title={Problems with \tex{defineenumeration}}]
When \tex{definelabel} is changed to \tex{defineenumeration},
the example fails to compile. It does not properly handle
the \tex{ID} in the footnote, complaining of an extra \} or
forgotten \tex{endgroup}.
