When you use the global whitespace settings in footnotes you get the same space between each footnote entry. What can be done is to add a whitespace key to setupnote which is easier than using setups-environment.

Could this be a feature request then? So

\setupnote[whitespace=big,bidi=on] I forgot that you can set the whitespace also with the style-key from \setupnotation.

\setupnotation[footnote][style={\setupwhitespace[line]}]

\starttext \input ward\footnote{\input{knuth}} \stoptext

Many thanks. Although bidi is not technically a "style" option, and one may be accused of mixing apples and oranges here, decided to test - see attached and below: ======= \setupdirections[bidi=global] \setupwhitespace[big] \setupnotation[footnote][style={\setupwhitespace[big],\setupdirections[bidi=global]}] \starttext \definedfont[file:almfixed.otf*arabic at 14pt] Test امتحان test \par Test امتحان test \startfootnote \definedfont[file:almfixed.otf*arabic at 14pt] Test امتحان test \par Test امتحان test \stopfootnote{} \stoptext ======= Why does bidi=global get applied to the second paragraph of the footnote, but not to the first?
