Hi,
Is it possible to mix two-column and single-column footnotes?
Here's my use case. I have two types of footnotes:
1) short one- or two-word terms
2) long descriptions and notes
On some pages there are a lot of "short" footnotes which take up a lot of
space at the bottom of the page. I'd like to typeset them in 2 or 3
columns. But then the "long" footnotes had better stay in one column.
See below for desired input and output.
Thanks,
~MHB
Sample input:
\definenote[shortfootnote][...,n=3]
\definenote[longfootnote][...,n=1]
\definenotation[shortfootnote][...]
\definenotation[longfootnote][...]
\starttext
\shortfootnote{short}\shortfootnote{short}\shortfootnote{short}
\longfootnote{This is a long footnote which spans the entire width of the
page.}
\shortfootnote{short}\shortfootnote{short}
\longfootnote{Another "long" footnote.}
\longfootnote{Note that footnotes 5, 6 used only two out of three available
columns.}
\stoptext
Desired output:
__________
1 short 2 short 3 short
4 This is a long footnote which spans
the entire width of the page.
5 short 6 short
7 Another "long" footnote.
8 Note that footnotes 5, 6 used only
two out of three available columns.
