 Hi,

 What do I need to get footnotes to work with columnsets. Somehow
 footntes have the wrong width.

 \definecolumnset [two]  [n=2,balancing=yes,distance=0.2in]
 \starttext
  \startcolumnset[two]
\dorecurse{10}{ \input tufte\footnote{\input zapf \endgraf}
 \endgraf}
  \stopcolumnset
 \stoptext

Adding \setupfootnotes[width=\textwidth] works but it seems a bit 
strange that I have to do that. Should columnsets redefine 
\makeupwidth to the width of the column?

Do you really need column sets, or is normal columns
mode ok as well?

  \startcolumns[n=2]
  \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte\footnote{\input ward \relax}}
  \stopcolumns

Looks about right.

Cheers, Taco

you need to set widths

\setupfootnotes[n=1,width=\hsize]

1)

Yes, column sets would be better.




  \startcolumns[n=2]
  \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte\footnote{\input ward \relax}}
  \stopcolumns

Looks about right.

2)

When I try ...

\setupfootnotes[n=3]
\starttext
  \startcolumns[n=2]
  \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte\footnote{\input ward \relax}}
  \stopcolumns
\stoptext

at the bottom of page 1 there is a lot of white space before the  
footnote text of footnote 1-4 (the footnotemarkers 1 to 4 come up the  
next page).
So in this example it doesn't seem to be possible to keep footnote  
markers and text at the same page:


Wouldn't it be better in this case to fill page 1 also with the  
footnote text of the following footnotes?

In this way the pages would look much better.

Is there a way (penalty?) to express how *urgent* footnote markers  
and text need to be forced to the same page?

Or - in other words - to loosen the connection?

Thanks,
Steffen
