Re: [NTG-context] Footnotes in columns

Footnotes still don’t work in columnsets (latest LMTX): - they stay in one column (I’d prefer them over the whole width of the text area) - they often get overwritten by main text Is there a workaround? Hraban

Hello Hans,

with fresh LMTX footnotes are still missing in \startcolumns as Clyde reported:

\starttext \startcolumns \input knuth\footnote{D. E. Knuth} \stopcolumns \stoptext

Tried columnsets. Footnotes are overlapping text and some text at the column break disappeared:

\starttext \startcolumnset \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\footnote{D. E. Knuth}\ } \stopcolumnset \stoptext

We are running out of options :) Could you, please, have a look at it when your metafun mode is over?

Thanks, Jano ConTeXt ver: 2021.03.05 19:14 LMTX fmt: 2021.3.6

\setupcolumns[n=2,rule=off,balance=no]

\starttext

\startcolumns

\input ward\footnote{A small footnote here}

\stopcolumns

\stoptext
