Hi everybody, After some attempts to put footnotes in a mixed 1&2 columns layout, I decide to put marks in the one-column environment and flush them when entering the two-column environment. The code is ugly but the result is acceptable. Except that the invisible footnote marks do generate something in the main text, so there's a blank line for each footnote. Here's an MWE: ============================================= \definenote[address] \setupnote[address][rule=off,location=text] \definenote[putjustmark] \setupnote[putjustmark][location=none] \setupnotation[putjustmark][numberconversion=set 2] \definenote[putjustnote]%[footnote] % if footnotes need to be grouped, uncomment the second argument and the line after \the\titlefootnotes \setupnote[putjustnote][textcommand=\gobbleoneargument] \setupnotation[putjustnote][numberconversion=set 2] \newtoks\titlefootnotes \def\thanks#1{\putjustmark{#1}\appendtoks \putjustnote{#1} \to \titlefootnotes} \def\email#1{\putjustmark{#1}\appendtoks \putjustnote{#1} \to \titlefootnotes} \appendtoks \setcounter[footnote][0] % this looks stupid because it has no effect %\setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=numerals] \to \titlefootnotes \definenamespace [addr] [type=module, name=address, command=yes, setup=list, parent=addr, ] \define[1]\useaddress {\setnotetext[address][#1]{\namedaddressparameter{#1}{name}}} \starttext \defineaddress[fst][name={Name of Institute or Affiliation, City, Country}] \defineaddress[snd][name={Name of Secondary Institute or Affiliation, City, Country}] \processcommacommand[fst,snd]\useaddress The Title\thanks{Work supported by somebody.} Me\email{myemail@some.where}\high{,}\note[address][fst]\high{,}\note[address][snd] \placenotes[address] \blank[medium] \startcolumns \the\titlefootnotes %\setcounter[footnote][0] % why it's necessary to set the counter outside the token if I define [putjustnote] as [footnote]? test\footnote{test} \input knuth \stopcolumns \stoptext =============================================
