Hey. First, thanks to Andreas for his solution to the bibliographies. Second, a question: is there a module to produce critical editions with ConTeXt? In critical editions usually have several groups of footnotes and reference is usually made by line number. With LaTeX can be done using "ledmac", but perhaps would have to customize the footnotes with ConTeXt. Thank you.
No, there isn't a single module to do this. Most of the functionality is there (search for "linenotes" in the mailing list and look at the TEI xml example on the wiki), but you will still have to write your own style/module.
Hi Manuel, As Thomas replied, linenotes is your friend. TEI XML (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TEI_xml) shows the features of critical edition typesetting, but you have to learn XML, TEI, ConTeXt and how ConTeXt deals directly with XML files . This is a much better way to work with documents, but you'll need to learn much more. I provide here a minimal example on how ConTeXt works with linenotes: \definelinenote[lnote] \setuplinenote[lnote][rule=off,paragraph=yes,numbercommand=,inbetween=\qquad] \setupdescriptions[lnote][display=yes,location=serried,distance=1em] \starttext \startlinenumbering En un lugar\lnote{lugar: place} de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre\lnote{nombre: name} no quiero\lnote{querer: want} acordarme\lnote{acordarse: remember}. \stoplinenumbering \stoptext I'm not a classical philologist, but the way ConTeXt works is much clearer than ledmac to me (although I have only tested ledmac for a couple of days). But there are two features from ledmac that aren't available in ConTeXt (or at least I don't know how to achieve them): -ConTeXt numbers all linenotes that come from the same line and there seems to be no way to limit number in the apparatus to only the first linenote from that line. -From the way linenotes are implemented, linenotes mark a point in the body text, but not a text passage, so it seems to be impossible to refer to a passage that is typeset in different lines (such as 2-3). Apart from these two issues and since the other issues involved in linenotes are known to the ones in this mailing list, it might be easier that you start a thread at the Spanish TeX mailing list (I'm also subscribed to that list). I'm only suggesting this, since it might be easier for you, the topic is known to the members from this list and it may be interesting for the members from ES-TEX (I apologize if I'm wrong). I hope this might help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
