I have been adapting some of my old Plain TeX macros to ConTeXt, using hints and suggestions from the ConTeXt wiki. What I have thus far works exactly as desired in the body text, but fails in the footnotes. I have appended some encoded text that shows the problem. Note the poor line-spacing and (unwanted) indentation in the first line of the quotation in the footnote: this quotation should look the same as the one in the body text.
I realize that I could fix this simply by inserting a \noindent in the footnote, for instance. But I am trying to reduce the amount of thinking an coder has to do, and so would really like to define the startextract..\stopextract environment more effectively.
don't use \godown, use \blank since it is more clever in accumulating cq. handling vertical spaces; also, \defineblank[footnotedistance][.1pc] and then using \blank[footnotedistance] makes the thing configurable (one can redefine the spacing outside the macro) Hans
