-> 1. headcommand
How do I use this new command for moving my footnotemarker? I found only "location=top" showing a result and that was quite stupid ...
\setupfootnotedefinition[location=command,headcommand=\llap]
as the name suggests, it uses the definition/descriotion environment, so you can use the same configuration options as there; the mentioned location=command gives you the possibility to hook in your own commands \def\MyMove#1{\inframed{#1}} headcommand=\MyMove
-> 2. footnotes (short: behind, long: below)?
Is there a predefined command for placing short footnotes at the bottom of each page but horizontally continuos?
Is saw this way of typesetting footnotes in a book I've read. It looks likes this:
body text body text body text body text body bo- dy text body text body. ------ 1 short 2 short 3 short 4 short 5 but hey: the long note starts in a new line!
I have never seen footnotes like this before. But it reads very pleasant: This way you don't have lot of empty white space (because of short notes), and it still is very clear (for the long footnote starts on a new line).
Is it possible to typeset this in ConTeXt?
not currently; one complication is that footnotes are collected and so the first one is already on a line of it's own when the seconds enters the game; technically it's possible to implement something that does that by lying to tex about dimensions and such; however, this will not be that robust because tex has to be able to break between note 1 and 2 if needed
-> 3. Footnotes in margin?
Hans once posted the code listed below. But the result on longer footnotes were halfempty (body text) pages. Is there a bug fix, a work around?
hm, i need to add an option for that, will do Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
