Hi list! I want to know how to properly use footnotes in math mode. The following:
\starttext
\startformula
\int_{a}^{b} f(x) d x=\lim _{h=0}\left[\int_{a}^{c-h} f(x) d x+\int_{c+h}^{b} f(x) d x\right] \startfootnote Footnote \stopfootnote
\stopformula
\stoptext
doesn't complain but it doesn't show the footnote either.
So, I'm using the following workaround:
\starttext
\startformula
\int_{a}^{b} f(x) d x=\lim _{h=0}\left[\int_{a}^{c-h} f(x) d x+\int_{c+h}^{b} f(x) d x\right]\note[mynote1]
\stopformula
\footnotetext[mynote1]{Cauchy s'occupe du cas...}
\stoptext
However, 1) I have to create notes every time and it's kinda annoying when a large amount of formulas are annotated (I've read somewhere it's bad practice to (ab)use footnotes in math writing, but I see this often in books from the 19th century or earlier), 2) the numbering is bold. Making the numbering normal rather than bold would be fine, but I want to know about a better solution. Thank you in advance
Jairo :)
PS: How to answer messages sent to the mailing list? I'm on Gmail and I have to wait until the Digest comes. However, I can see messages in
mail-archive.com. It's a dumb question, but when I want to thank Hans, Wolfgang or Aditya (and everyone else) for an answer, or following a thread, I have to edit the whole Digest mail. Sorry if I've been ungrateful by not answering back. Thank you again.
