Dear Cabinet,A couple of footnote questions: 1. Is there an option for choosing one's own reference mark for any given footnote, like in Plain? 2. Is there a conversion option for the famous nine reference mark sequence (\fnsymbol in LaTeX): star, dagger, double dagger, section, inverted `P', parallel, star-star, dagger-dagger, double dagger-double dagger ? I did not see it in the manual.
\starttext
\setupfootnotes
[conversion=HowAboutIt]
\defineconversion
[HowAboutIt]
[One,Two,Three]
test \footnote{test}
test \footnote{test}
test \footnote{test}
\stoptext
any conversion can be used (see core-con.tex end of file for examples)
3. Is there a way to control the distance between the footnote rule and the firstline of the footnote?
\def\MyRule
{\blackrule[width=3cm,height=1mm]
\vskip.5cm}
\setupfootnotes
[rule=\MyRule,
conversion=HowAboutIt]
it's a description, so any of those settings apply4. ConTeXt places the footnote reference mark just on the outside of the margin. Can I place it inside? Can I indent the first paragraph of the footnote with the reference mark (like in LaTeX)?
\setupfootnotedefinition
[location=left,
width=2cm]
[some time ago i sent you a some definable footnote macros, a sort of prelude to your critical edition project]
Unrelated: Canw I make an entire document default to oldstyle numbers? (Probably not, since Knuth mapped these glyphs in a strange way).
you can, but you should construct a virtual font for that
