Dear Pablo,
It seems that we never should say "never" about things which appear all over the real world. I just go back to a previous assertion you made here.
Dear Jean-Pierre, I said “I have never seen that...” not “I will never see that...”.
I agree with you about footnotes which should be placed on the same page (I quote) :
Bottom notes are somewhat tricky in ConTeXt. The user expects that these notes (either footnotes, or linenotes) aren’t moved to the next page. I mean, no reader expects to find a full footnote in the next page from the one that calls it. (At least, I have never seen that in any book read or paged through.) [...] As a kind of sample, see the French translation of Nichomachean Ethics by Jean Tricot (1983 edition), Jean Vrin publisher, pages 201, 225-226, 245-246, etc. One can notice an effort to reduce the body text in order to let some space to footnotes. But this effort flaws on several pages...
This makes the perfect case for using endnotes.
A way had have been chosen by publishers : "don't abuse about footnotes!", which is clearly impossible within academic books in Humanities...
Using endnotes would be a much easier approach. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
