Hi Hans,
That's great! Thanks a lot!
I have two questions in order to adapt what you sent to my case.
I played a bit with your second solution, as in:
%%%%%%% begin sidenote-Hans.tex
\showframe
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\setuplayout
[cutspace=7cm,
width=middle,
margin=5cm,
margindistance=7mm]
\setuptexttexts
[margin]
[] [{\directsetup{notabene}}]
\newbox\MyNoteOverflow
\setupnotation[endnote]
[interaction=yes,
after={\blank[big]}]
\startsetups notabene
\setbox\scratchbox\vbox
\bgroup
\setupalign[tolerant]
\ifvoid\MyNoteOverflow
\else
\unvbox\MyNoteOverflow
\fi
\placenotes[endnote][before=,after=]
\egroup
\scratchdimen\dimexpr\textheight-.5\lineheight\relax
\ifdim\ht\scratchbox>\scratchdimen
\global\setbox\MyNoteOverflow\box\scratchbox
\setbox\scratchbox\vsplit \MyNoteOverflow to \scratchdimen
\fi
\vbox
\bgroup
\topskipcorrection
\unvbox\scratchbox
\vfilll
\egroup
\stopsetups
\startsetups notaflush
\doloop {
\page
\ifvoid\MyNoteOverflow
\exitloop
\else
\null \page
\fi
}
\stopsetups
\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{
test \endnote{\input ward }\input tufte.tex \par
test \endnote{This is a note about Ward, who says: \par \input
ward.tex} \input ward.tex \par
test \endnote{This is a note about Donald Knuth.} \input knuth.tex \par
}
This is a last note. \endnote{This last note is here to see what happens in the
next page\dots\par \input knuth.tex}
\par \input knuth.tex
%\setups{notaflush}
\stoptext
%%%%%%% end sidenote-Hans.tex
The first question is why did you define a setups called notaflush, and why
your example works fine without using it ?
The second question is: the side notes are vertically centered in the margin
(one can see this when the notes do not cover all the margin), which is fine
for me. But, out of curiosity, what can be changed in the setups notabene in
order to have the notes to begin at the top of the margin ?
(When a note runs into the next page, as in the last note, then it would be
nicer to begin on top of the margin).
Thanks again: Otared K.
