Hi Hans, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately your solution does not work correctly. The following example produces one footnote at the first page but no footnote on the second page. \starttext funny\myfootnote[funny]{funny} funny\mynote[funny] \page funny\mynote[funny] funny\mynote[funny] \stoptext --Stefan PS: Would it be possible to use the same footnote mark again when a footnote is repeated?

Hi all!
The \note[xxx] command is used to reference a previously defined footnote. Is it possible that the previously defined footnote is repeated if a page break had occured between the \footnote[xxx]{bla bla bla} and the corresponding \note[xxx] command?
it's incredible what kin dof wishes users can come up with -)
\def\myfootnote[#1]#2% let's guess that #2 is without catcode problems {\setxvalue{note:#1}{\footnote{#2}}\footnote[note:a:#1]{#2}}
\def\mynote[#1]% {\removeunwantedspaces \pagereference[note:b:#1]% \doifreferencefoundelse{note:a:#1} {\edef\NotePageA{\number\currentrealreference}% \doifreferencefoundelse{note:b:#1} {\edef\NotePageB{\number\currentrealreference}% \ifnum\NotePageA<\NotePageB\relax \getvalue{note:#1}% \else \note[note:a:#1]% \fi} {\note[note:a:#1]}} {\note[note:a:#1]}}
