three questions on footnotes
by Steffen Wolfrum 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

Hi, as beautiful footnote placement is one of the most brilliant features in TeX I were happy if these three detail questions could also be answered with ConTeXt. Hans, do you have some time left to have a look, please? As always, thank you very much, Steffen -> 1. headcommand How do I use this new command for moving my footnotemarker? I found only "location=top" showing a result and that was quite stupid ... \setupfootnotedefinition[location=command,headcommand=\llap] -> 2. footnotes (short: behind, long: below)? Is there a predefined command for placing short footnotes at the bottom of each page but horizontally continuos? Is saw this way of typesetting footnotes in a book I've read. It looks likes this: body text body text body text body text body bo- dy text body text body. ------ 1 short 2 short 3 short 4 short 5 but hey: the long note starts in a new line! I have never seen footnotes like this before. But it reads very pleasant: This way you don't have lot of empty white space (because of short notes), and it still is very clear (for the long footnote starts on a new line). Is it possible to typeset this in ConTeXt? -> 3. Footnotes in margin? Hans once posted the code listed below. But the result on longer footnotes were halfempty (body text) pages. Is there a bug fix, a work around? > >does ConTeXt provide a way to place footnote (not margin notes!) per page - but not below the body text? > >A suitable place could be the margin.

Hi all, Am trying to define a synonym of my font at 24pt where am not sure at which size my font is installed -should be 12pt- (The ttf includes all the following sizes 12, 18, 24,36, 48, 60, .. but as i've done the install from the pfb + afm that comes with it, i don't really know what size i have now). Anyway i have tryed the following which turns to an error: \usetypescriptfile[Karat.tex] \usetypescript[karat] \definefont[TitleFont][karat at 24pt] \starttext \TitleFont Hello \stoptext I have tryed to change the 24 to 12 and it does not work too.

Getting linuxtex.zip working

Exactly what do I need to do after running setuptex, mktexlsr, and texexec --make --alone? PATH needs permanent updating for sure, but what else? texexec won't work (kpsewhich won't work) unless setuptex is sourced before I try running it in a fresh shell.
