Dear syndicate, For looong footnotes it would be nice to have \start-\stop footnotes for easier editing, but these are not defined in ConTeXt. So I tried ============================ \definestartstop [footnote] [before=\footnote\bgroup, after=\egroup] \startbuffer[footnote]% test test test test test test test test \footnote{This is a basic footnote.} test test test test test test test test \footnote{This is another basic footnote.} test test test test test test test test test test test test test. \startfootnote Here is a footnote environment. \stopfootnote \stopbuffer {\typebuffer[footnote] \getbuffer[footnote]} \page ============================ But this does nothing. [before=\footnote{, after=}] does not work either (and is not equivalent to (b/e}group). Please advise!
