Re: [NTG-context] footnotes with one *
Thank you for your replies. They helped. I need two more twiks...
Twik 1:
My font is too slanted and the asterisk (*) is printed too close to the
last word in the sentence.
Example:
Charles IV \footnote[]{asdfasdf}
will print an asterisk touching the V letter.
How do I instruct context to give me some room before printing the asterisk?
Second twik:
How to control the distance between the page text and the line that separates
the footnote and the page text?
I tried the "distance=", the "height=" arguments in the
setupfootnotes, but they don't do
what I want.
thank you
Ciro

It doesn't quite work.
If you give a single argument to \defineconversion, it expects the
conversion to be a command that takes an argument. Since you haven't taken
an argument, the number gets typeset after the asterisk. Also, the
asterisk needs to be in math mode to get positioned correctly, I
think. Correcting for both of those gives this, which works:
\def\gobble#1{}
\defineconversion[starred][\mathematics{*}\gobble]
\setupfootnotes[conversion=starred]
However, that's somewhat of a hack; better is to set up the footnotes to
reset the counter on each page, and then use one of ConTeXt's predefined
conversion sets that starts with an asterisk but follows it with other
symbols. That way, if one changes the file so that there end up being two
footnotes on the same page, they won't both get asterisks (which would be
confusing).
That can be done quite simply, like so:
\setupfootnotes[way=bypage,conversion=set 2]
Set 2 uses a \dag and then \ddag as the symbols after *, which is fairly
standard typographic practice. If you prefer to do a sequence of *, **,
***, and instead, try something like this:
\defineconversion
[asterisks]
[\mathematics{*},

Hi Olivier,
Thanks for your reaction. My original proposal was:
\startitemize
\beginblockA
\item Apple
\endblockA
\beginblockB
\item Pomme
\endBlockB
\beginblockA
\item Pear
\endblockA
\beginblockB
\item Poire
\endBlockB
\stopitemize
This does not work.
The advantage of this setup is that in a bilingual document, printed
separatedly, I have both languages underneath and thus more control than when I
use separate itemize environments, such as proposed by Taco, and what I had
thought of earlier:
\beginblockA
\startitemize
\stopitemize
\endblockA
\beginblockB
\startitemize
\stopitemize
\endblockB
Nevertheless, if my proposal does not work, I guess I'll have to try it this
way.
Kind regards,

[NTG-context] updating/installing context
My (working) setup: TeXLive on MacOSX (full installation). This was
installed following the instructions in
http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html#install. (I only
have a slow modem at home)
I tried to update context, with the same instructions.
1. I unzipped the new version in texmf (is this correct?) and
texhashed, edited etc. Running texexec --pdf myfile gave the errors
shown below (see copy of messages).
2. I removed context and put it in texmf-dist (the original context
seemed to be there?). Same result (see messages).
3. I then tried to install the minimal version from the pragma site
(macostex.zip). There are no instructions and I spent hours trying to
figure out what to do. I then found the following in the archives:
---
you can put the minimal context in for instance
mkdir /mytex
after that run
. /mytex/setuptex /mytex
make sure that the file in /mytex/texmf-linux/bin path have the x flag
set
texexec --make --all
---
I tried that, assuming that Mac BSD is close enouth to Linux, but
clearly this was written for somebody who knows much more than I do. I
was told to provide a proper tex root (something/tex), and when I did
(I think), I got a path containing //. Surely, it can't be that
difficult to give step by step instructions to somebody with basic unix
experience?!
Thanks for your help, Jörg

Thanks Taco, I have of course thought of that, and I know it must work, but in the way I intend to set up the document, especially in regard to the connections between the blocks (item A' = translation of item A), it would be handy if it could be done around each item. If not, I'll have to find another solution.
