Hello, Searching for a \thanks equivalent command on ConTeXt, I ended up on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/LaTeX_Thanks. But I didn't like that solution, because the author footnote is placed on a new area instead the same as text footnotes. So I made a simple solution, that the author footnotes is placed in the same area and doesn't interfere on real counter. I want here to share my solution, below you can see it. \definestartstop[author] [before={\savenumber[footnote] \resetnumber[footnote] \start \let\thanks\footnote \setupfootnotes[numberconversion=set 2]}, after={\stop \restorenumber[footnote]}] It can be used as that: \startauthor Wagner Macedo\thanks{Brazilian citizen} \stopauthor Of course, I could did a \author command, but I generally prefer to use start/stop blocks. What do you think? This could be improved?
