Dear list, I want to report a possible bug (I think), when one try to put a footnote into another footnote, here is MWE (from wiki):
\starttext This\footnote{Or that\footnote{Or possibly even the other.}, if you prefer.} is a sentence with a footnote. \stoptext
While testing/evaluating different options/markups, the topic of using “footnote within footnote” has appeared and I’ve tried to test it in the ConTeXt, but, strangely-enoug, I can confirm that it does not work here as reported by Jose. Here is the console output: $ context footnotetst.tex mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="/var/lib/texmf/luatex-cache/context/b47c3d3cee7cb6c86268d0595268c442/formats/luatex/cont-en"
