[NTG-context] [***SPAM***] Re: [***SPAM***] Symbols for footnotes not working
It didn't work. Either with texexec or with context.
Here is a simpler test case
start
% basic test to change footnotes bullet to a symbol
% basice test to change footnotes bullet to a symbol
% \setupfootnotes[rule=off] % had no affect
\defineconversion[fnsym]{ \dagger,*,**,***} % etc.
\setupfootnotes[conversion=fnsym, numberconversion=fnsym] % Doesn't
work
\setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=fnsym,alternative=text] % Doesn't
work
% conversion=set fnsym or conversion=fnsymdoes't work
% numberconversion=fnsym or numberconversion=set fnsym doesn't work
\starttext
This is a footnote\footnote{a fnote}\\
And another for clarity\footnote{the 2nd footnote.}
\stoptext
end the above does not produce a dagger footnote bullet (only
std numbers)
It should be a simple thing to do, but I've tried a lot of combinations..
Any help would be appreciated.

Oddly enough, it works well, but somehow I had to use 0.01pt to make it
noticable.

In print or on screen? TeX is very precise but displays and printers can
do rounding and snapping.

[NTG-context] Different Horizontal Lines with Tabulate
Hello, I have a table in which I have to group a number of rows together. Let's say I have a table with two columns, the first is an item ID and the second a multi-line description for that item. Say I have ten items in the table and I need to group Item 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6 and so on. Due to the description being quite lengthy in some cases, I would like to use some sort of horizontal rule between items. It seems I have to following options: 1. Using horizontal rules of two different thicknesses (eg. thicker between groups and thinner between items within the same group) 2. Using horizontal rules of two different colour (eg. black between groups and a light grey between items within the same group) 3. Using horizontal rules of different lengths (that is, full length between groups and only in the second column between items within the same group) Are any of the above possible with tabulate? I could not find anything to achieve any of those. I am quite used to tabulate as my table framework, so I would prefer to use that. If that's not possible however, I'd be happy to use something else. Any pointers would be much appreciated. Thank you, Malte. ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] [***SPAM***] Re: Symbols for footnotes not working
Thank you both, Wolfgang and Hans for helping me be able to use user specified footnote bulltes. I am using it in a table which I encapsulate with localfootnotes. I call \setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=fnsym] % change footnote symbols after the startlocal, and it works in the table, but the use of symbols persists after teh stoplocalfootnotes is issued. However if I undo, just before the end as \setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=n] then all works well and the counts carry on correctly.
