Hello Steffen, you should provide examples how you do things, otherwise we'd have to guess.
First, some of my URLs within footnotes are wider as the textwidth. Is there a way to force a line break other than defining break points for each of it? Maybe even with a nice symbol identicating the forced break?
Perhaps this thread helps? http://archive.contextgarden.net/thread/20041206.211906.9dc6aa4d.en.html#200...
Second problem is the formatting of the in text references. it would be nice if there is a way they were not bold. I tried different things with \setupreferencing but the text stayed bold. I could not find something in regards to this topic in the manual or in the wiki.
I don't know references (never used them), but could this be due to interaction? Put style=\tf in \setupinteraction. But this is just a wild guess.
My thrid problem is, how can I force context not to continue footnotes on another page?
Sorry, no idea. Somebody else?
And a similar thing ... how can I achieve that there are always at least two lines of a paragraph on each page if this paragraph is split between two pages. I tried \clubpenalty and \widowpenalty as well as \def\defaultwidowpenalty and \def\defaultclubpenalty. But I am not really sure what the numbers identicate. I guess not the lines ...
No, not the line numbers. It is a TeX concept called 'penalty' where high positive numbers represents 'very bad'. The default in ConTeXt is 2000, which is pretty high. Maximum is 10000 (= infinity). Perhaps you need to play with \brokenpenalty as well, which tells TeX how bad it is to break a page at a line with a hyphen. But perhaps you could provide an example. Patrick
