Is there a way to manually set the number of a footnote rather than letting ConTeXt determining it? Something that works in the same way as \page[25]?
For example, I might want to start footnote numbering at 1 at each chapter, *but I won't be using traditional ConTeXt divisions.*
I've been searching the web and it seems that LaTeX has a way to reset counters, but I can't get this to work in ConTeXt.
Answering my own email. I've had a look at core-not.tex, and I see a lot of definitions such as \internalfootreference. I've tried setting some of these myself with no luck. But it seems if I can just figure out the right definition and the way to set it, I should be able to insert the type of footnote I want.
On the other hand, isn't there a way to just enter text in for your footnote marker, and totally bypass any automatic numbering? \starttext
