Hi all,
this is something that has made me wonder: am I doing something wrong
here, or is this a bug with footnote placement? Run the attached
example, look at the last 2 pages, 5 and 6. On p. 5, the footnotes run
off the page area. On p. 6, why is there so much space between text area
and footnote area. The reason for this somewhat exotic set-up: our
publisher wanted the footnotes of the last page of every chapter to
start right after the text, not at the bottom of the page. In the end, I
told them I couldn't do it, and they were fine with it. But I still
think it should be possible; I've looked into a number of books, and it
seems a common layout in the humanities. Maybe someone has a bright
idea? (Wolfgang, you answered to this problem 2 weeks ago and suggested
having "aftersection={\setupnote[footnote][location=high]}" in
\setuphead, but this triggers the same problems). So maybe a bug?
All best
Thomas
