Have you tried to use mkiv for your document. Wolfgang Robert Zydenbos schrieb am 09.08.18 um 14:49:
tex.stackexchange.com has page titled “How to manually reset the footnote numbering in ConTeXt?” (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/359702/how-to-manually-reset-the-foo...), where exactly the same question was asked:
---begin quote--- “I have a document with many footnotes, like this:
This is some text\footnote{This is a footnote}. This is some more text\footnote{This is another footnote}. This is yet another text\footnote{This is some more footnote text}. This produces footnotes numbered 1, 2, 3, etc.
I need to manually reset the footnote number back to 1. E.g.:
This is some text\footnote{This is a footnote}. This is some more text\footnote{This is another footnote}. \resetfootnote This is yet another text\footnote{This is some more footnote text}.
This should produce footnotes numbered 1, 2, then 1 again.”) ---end quote---
But no conclusive answer was found. The questioner then said: “I tried changing way=bypage and way=bysection, but it does not get the correct results, which is to have the numbers reset each time \placefootnotes is called. As bypage and bysection both don't do that, I need to be able to manually adjust the numbering.”
I have tried ‘\resetcounter [footnote]’ (a suggested solution on that web page), but it does not work (at least not in MkII+XeTeX). ‘\setupcounter [footnote] [0]’ (also suggested on that web page) is rejected as an error.
