From ConTeXt's Wiki Garden the below should work, but it isn't. How can this be accomlished. I want to use just \dagger for the symbol, but any symbol would do.
\definesymbol[4]{\dagger]
\starttext \defineconversion[dagger][{\dagger},{\dagger}] % use a \dagger for the footnote. \setupfootnotes[conversion=set dagger,location=text] This is the dagger, \dagger{} I want to use for reference\footnote{Will the dagger appear}.
A second line here for robustness.\footnote{It's a number still.} \stoptext
\setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=dagger,alternative=text]
Also I could find no explanations for what a set is, as in conversion=set 1 or 2 or 3 etc. What is set 1 or 2 or 3?
A set is a list with symbols: \starttext \dorecurse {8}{\convertnumber{set 0}{\recurselevel}\quad}\par \dorecurse {9}{\convertnumber{set 1}{\recurselevel}\quad}\par \dorecurse{12}{\convertnumber{set 2}{\recurselevel}\quad}\par \dorecurse{15}{\convertnumber{set 3}{\recurselevel}\quad}\par \stoptext Wolfgang
