Hi Hraban, Thank you for taking the time to send your code for sidenotes. Unfortunately when I add \starttext test\footnote{A footnote in the margin.} \stoptext to your code, I get an error and unfortunately with recent versions of LMTX the error message ! Undefined control sequence is not helpful to find the error… (LMTX considers \footnote as an undefined control sequence…). Best regards: Otared

: Hi Hraban,
Thank you for reminding me of the solution cooked up by Wolfgang for you a few years ago. That solution works fine when the notes are short enough, but in some cases the notes in the margin bump into each other (indeed it is not a good habit to have long notes, but in some cases one cannot avoid them).
One essential bit is missing in the wiki example:
\setupmargindata[inmargin][ location=right, stack=continue, % !! align=flushright, ]
The code I’m actually using for our German literature magazine “Kritische Ausgabe” is much more elaborated, but also cluttered with obsolete stuff – I need to sort that out some time... (I only deleted some styling.)
%%% Footnotes / Marginals
\setupmargindata[inmargin][ location=right, stack=continue, align=flushright, ] \setupmargindata[inouter][ location=right, stack=continue, align=flushright, ]
\def\FNVOffset{0} % Negative vertical offset of footnotes in lines % Manual tweaking was necessary for a while, when stacking didn’t work reliably.
\def\MarginNote#1{% \inmargin[ voffset=\dimexpr-\FNVOffset\lineheight\relax, width=\ColWidth, align=flushleft, ]{% \inframed[ width=\ColWidth, align=right, frame=off, offset=overlay, strut=yes, ]{#1}% }% }
\define\PlaceFootnote{% \inmargin[ voffset=\dimexpr-\FNVOffset\lineheight\relax, width=\ColWidth, ]{% \vtop{\placelocalnotes[footnote][before=,after=]}}% }
\def\FNo#1{{#1~}} % I never managed to get number and text in consecutive lines without indented text % or at least a constant whitespace after the number.
\setupnote[footnote][ location=text, bodyfont=, indenting=no, before={\noindentation}, next=\PlaceFootnote, ]
\setupnotation[footnote][ way=bychapter, align=flushleft, indenting=no, location=serried, alternative=serried, width=broad, numbercommand=\FNo, ] % footnote text
\setuptexttexts[margin][][% {\framed[ align={flushright,bottom}, frame=off, height=\textheight, width=\ColWidth, ]{% \strut\vfill\placenotes[footnote]}}% ]
Best, Hraban
