Hi,

I have installed the last standalone version from contextgarden and oops, my (few days) old file does not work properly. My "old" setup of footnotes was like:

\setupfootnotedefinition[loaction=page...] \setupfootnotes[bodyfontsize=8pt, style=\ss...]

Now the context does not understand to that. So I am trying to set up footnotes with \setupnote[footnote] but it seems nothing works. I am not able to use location=serried, location=page, style and so on... Is it connected with some general update? :o(

The command \setupnotedefinition (where \setupfootnotedefinition is a shortcut for \setupnotedefinition[footnote]) is now \setupnotation and “location=serried” is now “alternative=serried”. The \setupnote command (\setupfootnotes is \setupnote[footnote]) has only a “bodyfont” key which accepts “{8pt,sans}” as argument but not “bodyfontsize” key and style is only available for \setupnotation (but as you saw you can add it to bodyfont).

Looking at strc-not.mkvi and from your explanations above it is still not clear to me how to use the new footnote definitions. We have \setupnotedefinition (with \setupfootnotedefinition=\setupnotedefinition[footnote]), \setupnote (with \setupfootnotes=\setupnote[footnote]), also \setupnotes (=\setupnote ?) Is there any difference between the singular and the plural forms? Also, what parameters are accepted? (I see "% not all make sense here" in strc-not.mkvi)

1. The \setupnotedefinition was replaced with \setupnotation 2. Many of the \define… and \setup… commands are now auto generated from \installcommandhandler which generates only one setup-command which can be used for global (i.e. \setup…[..,..=..,..]) and local (i.e. \setup…[…][..,..=..,..]) settings. For backward compatibility you can find things like this: \let\setupnotes\setupnote 3. The argument are same as before (with a few changes)

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Footnotes seems confused (ToDo).

In particular, I am still trying to get "next=\autoinsertnextspace" to make \startfootnote\stopfootnote work correctly…

Large parts of the code have been rewritten and the next key wasn’t added yet. Wolfgang
