I have tried ‘\resetcounter [footnote]’ (a suggested solution on that web page), but it does not work (at least not in MkII+XeTeX). ‘\setupcounter [footnote] [0]’ (also suggested on that web page) is rejected as an error.
Can you post a minimal example. Because the following works in MKII (counter reset at each chapter) \setupfootnotes[way=bychapter] \starttext \dorecurse{5} {\chapter{New Chapter} \dorecurse{5}{\input ward\footnote{A quote by ward}}} \stoptext The following also works with the counter reset at each section: \setupfootnotes[way=bysection] \starttext \dorecurse{5} {\section{New Chapter} \dorecurse{5}{\input ward\footnote{A quote by ward}}} \stoptext and the following works with the footnote reset at each page: \setupfootnotes[way=bypage] \starttext \dorecurse{5} {\section{New Chapter} \dorecurse{5}{\input ward\footnote{A quote by ward}}} \stoptext All examples were run using: ConTeXt ver: 2018.04.04 00:51 MKII fmt: 2018.7.3 int: english/english and the documents were compiled using texexec --xetex filename Aditya
