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.
