Hi,
Does anybody know if it is possible to place footnotes in the margin? If so, how?

Do you mean a sidebar with a note in it? Some time ago I asked a similar question and got various answers. For a partially embedded sidebar Hans suggested something along this line: ------------------------------------------------------ \setupoutput[pdftex] \setupcolors[state=start] \frenchspacing \tolerance = 1000 \setuplayout[width=4in] \setupfloat [intermezzo] [ leftmargindistance=-.8in, rightmargindistance=-.8in, default={outer,high}] \setupcaption[intermezzo][location=none] \defineframedtext [myohmy] [width=6cm,bodyfont=small, frame=off, backgroundcorner=round, backgroundradius=6pt,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.8] %\showframe \setupmarginblocks[ style=small, width=5cm, before=\startmyohmy, after={\relax,\stopmyohmy}, align=middle, ] \long\def\sidebar#1{\placeintermezzo{}{\startmyohmy #1 \relax\stopmyohmy}} \starttext \input ward \placeintermezzo{}{\startmyohmy\input dawkins \relax\stopmyohmy} \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth \par} \page[yes] \input ward \placeintermezzo{}{\input dawkins\relax} \page[yes] \input ward FOO \sidebar{% \input dawkins Additional text. } \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth \par} \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------- This delivers a longish sidebar, partially embedded in the text block, with a gray screen background. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf
