Greetings, list. My first post here. Please be gentle!
The command \contextversion reports I am using 2020.09.03 20:03 on Windows 10.
The MWE below produces a column and a half of text, not balanced (despite the \setupcolumns [...balance=yes...] command. Also, the footnote *number* appears on the PDF, but the *text* of the footnote doesn't.
However, when I use the online compiler (live.contextgarden.net, reported version 2020.06.30 17:30, older than mine), the footnote text *does* appear, though the columns are still not balanced.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\usemodule[ipsum] \setupfootnotes[location=page,rule=on,bodyfont=8.5pt] \setupcolumns [n=2,balance=yes,blank=line]
\starttext \chapter{Footnote Test — \contextversion} \startcolumns
\ipsum
Cursus metus aliquam eleifend mi in nulla posuere sollicitudin aliquam. Id aliquet risus feugiat in ante metus dictum at tempor.\footnote{Thor, A.U.: {\it Latin 101 for Dummies} (Rome, Dummies Pub., MCMLXXIX)}
\ipsum[alternative=lines,n=20]
\end columns \stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Question (1) : Why don't the columns balance, and how can I fix it?
Replace \end columns with \stopcolumns Wolfgang
