[NTG-context] [***SPAM***] Re: Symbols for footnotes not working

2013-03-29 Thread d.henman

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.

Thank you.

1. {} ≠ [], see \defineconversion

2. To end a paragraph use empty lines, \\ is wrong


\defineconversion[fnsym][\m{\dagger},\m{*},\m{**},\m{***}]

\setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=fnsym] % change footnote symbols
\setupnote[footnote][rule=off] % disbale the rule before the footnote block

\starttext

This is a footnote\footnote{a fnote}

And another for clarity\footnote{the 2nd footnote.}

\stoptext
