Hi Denis,
Thanks for the code, I shall give this a try.
To get the html file I convert a docx file using a wordpress multisite
app called Pressbooks, a book content management system for book
publishing in various formats such as the web, pdf, epub and various xml
flavours (see pressbooks.com). My interest was that docx files could be
imported into pressbooks, edited and then exported as html which I then
used in ConTeXt to produce pdf. Pressbooks has an open source option and
they give instructions on how to self-host on a local web server, which
is what I have done (see pressbooks.org). It is, I suppose, like using a
sledgehammer to crack a nut, and the html files produced are quite
complicated. I'm still in the experimental stage with it.
Before trying out Pressbooks, I had previously produced two
books(novels) by converting docx files to epub using an epub extension
to Libre Office, then edit/clean-up the epub using Sigil epub editor.
Finally I extract the individual xhtml files and input into ConTeXt.
That was much easier and the files much less complicated, however those
books did not have footnotes so I shall have to check that out in Sigil.
I'm still experimenting to get a simple workflow for the conversion of
docx files to simple (x)html files.
Thanks again for the code.
Best Wishes
Keith

Hey Keith,
the code below should get you started. Obviously, the links in the footnotes don't
appear as there are no setups for the <a> elements yet.
By the way, where is the HTML coming from? The dual structure for footnotes
looks a bit odd and a bit too complicated for me.
==========================================
\startxmlsetups xml:initialize
\xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{*}{-}
\xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{html|body|p|}{xml:*}
%\xmlsetsetup{#1}{span[@class="data-fnref"]}{xml:footnote} % data-fnref is not a
class; also -> the element won't be seen if the parent span is not treated in some way.
\xmlsetsetup{#1}{span[@class="footnote"]}{xml:footnote-wrapper}
\xmlsetsetup{#1}{span[@class="footnote-indirect"]}{xml:footnote}
\xmlsetsetup{#1}{div[@class="footnotes"]}{xml:nothing}
\stopxmlsetups
\xmlregistersetup{xml:initialize}
\startxmlsetups xml:html
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:body
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:p
\xmlflush{#1}\par
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:footnote-wrapper
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:footnote
\footnote
% {\xmlfirst{test}{div[@class="footnotes"]/div/div[@id="\xmlatt{#1}{id}"]}} ->
test is not the document name nor the name of the node to be processed>; div/div nesting was wrong;
for some reason I can't get it to work with xmlfirst. But \xmlfilter works
{\xmlfilter{\xmldocument}{div[@id='\xmlrefatt{#1}{data-fnref}']/command(xml:test)}}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:test
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
\starttext
\xmlprocessfile{initialise}{footnoteTest.html}{}
\stoptext
=============================================================

Fair comment Denis.
I decided to try the lookup based approach on pages 85 - 86 of the xml
manual and my setups are based on those pages. I have to admit that I find
the xml manual a wee bit difficult in places since xml is outside my expertise.
I attach my tex and html files which should save some copy and pasting.
Thanks

Hard to tell, if you don't show us what you've tried so far.
In one of my setups I use the lua based approach described on page 86/87.
But again, we'll probably need more information to figure it out.

Betreff: [NTG-context] Help with typesetting footnotes in an HTML
document
Hi,
I have been puzzling over how to typeset footnotes in a HTML
document, most elements have been relatively easy to typeset but I'm
stumped with footnotes. I have been studying the the xml manual in
particular Chapter 7.4 Cross Referencing, but I'm still struggling
to get xmlsetups which come anywhere near working. Any hints to a
solution would be greatly appreciated.
Best Wishes
