Hi again, it seems that i found the solution for problem 3: \setupnote [footnote][paragraph=yes,numbercommand=,inbetween=\hskip.5em\vl\hskip.5em] \setupdescriptions[footnote][display=no,location=serried,distance=.5em] at least the first tests seem to work like a charm...

Hello! Nearly one year ago I posted a question about alignment of footnote-numbers to the list. I then was occupied by other projects, so I now want to catch up and thank you for your replies.I am now again trying to make some work using Context. At first, I have to state that I am impressed about the advancement of Context. But I still have some problems with footnotes: 1. My annoying alignment problem. We now have headalign=flushright, that is the right direction, but not sufficient. What I additionally need is that the width of the number-box is determined by the broadest number on the page, ie I need to have 1 2 3 ... but on the other page: ~8 ~9 10 of course the same with 99 and 100 and so on. In an ideal world, the indent of the footnote-text would also change, but for the moment I could live with an equal indent for all pages having only the alignment of the notes change. I then did some research, read the mail-list etc. What I found on the list was a short message about \doifnoteonsamepageelse, I thougt it could be a starting-point. But trying the given example \starttext
\dorecurse {100} {
test \footnote{\doifnoteonsamepageelse[footnote]{ibidem}{aaa}}
}
\stoptext gave me 100 nice little notes, all containing aaa, which was not what I had expected... I then wanted to figure out a little more what was happening, tried to enable tracking with \enabletrackers[structure.notes], but could not find any of the expected messages in the log? What is going on? Because this problem is a real show stopper for me, I hope you can help me getting a solution.
2. The second, but not equal important problem is multicolum footnotes. It seems only to work with very short footnotes, in my example \setupnote[footnote][n=2, columndistance=12pt]
\starttext
This is just for \footnote{note1} testing
This is just for \footnote{note1} testing
This is just for \footnote{note1} testing

This is just for \footnote{This is a very long note which will cover multiple lines. This is a very long note which will cover multiple lines. This is a very long note which will cover multiple lines. This is a very long note which will cover multiple lines. This is a very long note which will cover multiple lines. This is a very long note which will cover multiple lines.} testing

\stoptext the long footnote 5 covers both columns.
3. At last I tried to set the footnotes in one paragraph, a layout sometimes used in our publications. As I found, the setup should be \setupnote[footnote][n=0, location=text]
but trying it with the text of problem 2 i only got an Arithmetic overflow.
For clarification, I am using ConTeXt ver: 2010.12.10 15:15 MKIV fmt: 2010.12.11 int: english/english
Thanks, Achim
