Hi again,
it seems that i found the solution for problem 3:
\setupnote
[footnote][paragraph=yes,numbercommand=,inbetween=\hskip.5em\vl\hskip.5em]
\setupdescriptions[footnote][display=no,location=serried,distance=.5em]
at least the first tests seem to work like a charm...
Greetings,
Achim

Hello!
Nearly one year ago I posted a question about alignment of
footnote-numbers to the list. I then was occupied by other projects,
so I now want to catch up and thank you for your replies.I am now
again trying to make some work using Context. At first, I have to
state that I am impressed about the advancement of Context. But I
still have some problems with footnotes:
1. My annoying alignment problem. We now have headalign=flushright,
that is the right direction, but not sufficient. What I additionally
need is that the width of the number-box is determined by the broadest
number on the page, ie I need to have
1
2
3
...
but on the other page:
~8
~9
10
of course the same with 99 and 100 and so on. In an ideal world, the
indent of the footnote-text would also change, but for the moment I
could live with an equal indent for all pages having only the
alignment of the notes change.
I then did some research, read the mail-list etc. What I found on the
list was a short message about \doifnoteonsamepageelse, I thougt it
could be a starting-point. But trying the given example
\starttext
\dorecurse {100} {
test \footnote{\doifnoteonsamepageelse[footnote]{ibidem}{aaa}}
}
\stoptext
gave me 100 nice little notes, all containing aaa, which was not what
I had expected... I then wanted to figure out a little more what was
happening, tried to enable tracking with
\enabletrackers[structure.notes], but could not find any of the
expected messages in the log? What is going on?
Because this problem is a real show stopper for me, I hope you can
help me getting a solution.
2. The second, but not equal important problem is multicolum
footnotes. It seems only to work with very short footnotes, in my example
\setupnote[footnote][n=2, columndistance=12pt]
\starttext
This is just for \footnote{note1} testing
This is just for \footnote{note1} testing
This is just for \footnote{note1} testing
This is just for \footnote{note1} testing
This is just for \footnote{This is a very long note which will cover
multiple lines. This is a very long note which will cover multiple
lines. This is a very long note which will cover multiple lines. This
is a very long note which will cover multiple lines. This is a very
long note which will cover multiple lines. This is a very long note
which will cover multiple lines.} testing
This is just for \footnote{note1} testing
This is just for \footnote{note1} testing
This is just for \footnote{note1} testing
\stoptext
the long footnote 5 covers both columns.
3. At last I tried to set the footnotes in one paragraph, a layout
sometimes used in our publications. As I found, the setup should be
\setupnote[footnote][n=0, location=text]
but trying it with the text of problem 2 i only got an Arithmetic
overflow.
For clarification, I am using ConTeXt ver: 2010.12.10 15:15 MKIV fmt:
2010.12.11 int: english/english
Thanks,
Achim
