Dear gang, Consider the following: ============== \starttext \startframedtext[width=fit,frame=off,offset=0pt] % \startlocalfootnotes[n=2] \startlocalfootnotes \input ward \startfootnote \input ward \stopfootnote \placelocalfootnotes \stoplocalfootnotes \stopframedtext \stoptext ============== See attached: 1) Would like the footnote-number counter to start at 2, not 1. 2) Alternatively, would like to be able to define a conversion that sets the footnote numeral to 2. 3) Uncommenting the line % \startlocalfootnotes[n=2] doesn't work, although it is mentioned here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/startlocalfootnotes So that must be for MKII.. Any pointers in setting up 1) and 2) are much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
