RE: [NTG-context] footnote placement

===== Original Message From Hans Hagen ===== \starttext

...

\startbuffer[tufte] \input tufte \stopbuffer \startbuffer[knuth] \input knuth \stopbuffer \dorecurse{100}{test \footnote{\typebuffer[knuth]} \endnote{eee}\endgraf}

it's \getbuffer else you indeed get a verbatim buffer (which is what type does);

\dorecurse{100}{test \footnote{\input knuth } \endnote{eee}\endgraf}

So \endgraf (or \par) is needed here; I should have guessed-)

also works; put a space or \relax after \input, else tex keeps scanning; alternatively use \ReadFile{knuth} or \readfile{knuth}{}{}

I definitely prefer the \ReadFile option. I could not find it (or \readfile{}{}{}) in ConTeXt Commands or texshow; must be new... What's the difference between these two commands? Also: given the ConTeXt philosophy, shouldn't there be a non-cryptic replacement for \par or \endgraf, something like \paragraph or \endparagraph?
