has ConTeXt any equivalent to the \thanks command in LaTeX that types a footnote with a "*" as number and doesn't alter the footnote counter?
Hello, Albrecht, Does the following handle the cases you need: \definenote[thanks][conversion=set 2] \starttext A. U. Thor\thanks[Misk]{A. U. Thor and W.H. Gates, III, are at Miskatonic U.}, A. N. Onymouse\thanks{A. N. Onymouse is at Shoggoth Enterprises.}, and W. H. Gates, III\note[Misk] Here is a footnote.\footnote{a note} Footnotes\footnote{another note} return here. \stoptext -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
