After updating to the current beta, I discovered that the \note macro does not format the note marker correctly. In the minimal example below, I define an item group for a paragraph-formatted list of article authors, and an "affiliation" note for a paragraph-formatted list of affiliations below them. (This is fairly common in academic journals; I have left out most of the text formatting.) The note marks for the third and fourth authors (Jones and Mandrell), which are created using the \note macro to reference previous affiliations, are too small and not bold. I would guess this is related to changes around line 122 of strc-not.mkiv, dealing with the handling of note attributes (see: \def\usenotestyleandcolor). \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \defineitemgroup[Authorlist] \setupitemgroup[Authorlist] [each] [text] [symbol=0, margin=no, align=normal, width=-10pt, distance=0pt, leftmargin=no, location=top, textdistance=big] \definenote[affiliation] [numbercommand=\ss, textstyle=\tfx\bf, paragraph=yes] \setupnotedefinition[affiliation] [location=serried, distance=.4em, display=no] \starttext \startlocalnotes[affiliation] \startAuthorlist % Convenience macros for setting up some affiliations separately: \def\useaffiliation#1{\note[#1]} \def\makeaffiliation[#1]#2{\setnotetext[affiliation][#1]{#2}} \makeaffiliation[opry]{The Grand Ole Opry} % The list of authors: \item Doris Doe\affiliation[misk]{Miskatonic University} \item Robert Roe\affiliation[love]{Lovecraft Institute} \item Cleopatra~Jones\note[misk] \item Barbara Mandrell\useaffiliation{opry} \stopAuthorlist \placelocalnotes[affiliation] \stoplocalnotes \stoptext -- Peter Park Nelson peter.park.nelson@gmail.com
