Dear Cabinet,
A couple of footnote questions:
1. Is there an option for choosing one's own reference mark for any given footnote, like in Plain?
2. Is there a conversion option for the famous nine reference mark sequence (\fnsymbol in LaTeX):
star, dagger, double dagger, section, inverted `P', parallel, star-star, dagger-dagger, double dagger-double dagger ?
I did not see it in the manual.
\starttext \setupfootnotes [conversion=HowAboutIt] \defineconversion [HowAboutIt] [One,Two,Three] test \footnote{test} test \footnote{test} test \footnote{test} \stoptext any conversion can be used (see core-con.tex end of file for examples)
3. Is there a way to control the distance between the footnote rule and the firstline of the footnote?
\def\MyRule {\blackrule[width=3cm,height=1mm] \vskip.5cm} \setupfootnotes [rule=\MyRule, conversion=HowAboutIt]
4. ConTeXt places the footnote reference mark just on the outside of the margin. Can I place it inside? Can I indent the first paragraph of the footnote with the reference mark (like in LaTeX)?
it's a description, so any of those settings apply \setupfootnotedefinition [location=left, width=2cm] [some time ago i sent you a some definable footnote macros, a sort of prelude to your critical edition project]

Canw I make an entire document default to oldstyle numbers? (Probably not, since Knuth mapped these glyphs in a strange way).
you can, but you should construct a virtual font for that Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
