Hi,

I have installed the last standalone version from contextgarden and oops, my (few days) old file does not work properly. My "old" setup of footnotes was like:

\setupfootnotedefinition[loaction=page...] \setupfootnotes[bodyfontsize=8pt, style=\ss...]

Now the context does not understand to that. So I am trying to set up footnotes with \setupnote[footnote] but it seems nothing works. I am not able to use location=serried, location=page, style and so on... Is it connected with some general update? :o(

The command \setupnotedefinition (where \setupfootnotedefinition is a shortcut for \setupnotedefinition[footnote]) is now \setupnotation and “location=serried” is now “alternative=serried”. The \setupnote command (\setupfootnotes is \setupnote[footnote]) has only a “bodyfont” key which accepts “{8pt,sans}” as argument but not “bodyfontsize” key and style is only available for \setupnotation (but as you saw you can add it to bodyfont).

Looking at strc-not.mkvi and from your explanations above it is still not clear to me how to use the new footnote definitions. We have \setupnotedefinition (with \setupfootnotedefinition=\setupnotedefinition[footnote]), \setupnote (with \setupfootnotes=\setupnote[footnote]), also \setupnotes (=\setupnote ?) Is there any difference between the singular and the plural forms? Also, what parameters are accepted? (I see "% not all make sense here" in strc-not.mkvi)

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Footnotes seems confused (ToDo).

In particular, I am still trying to get "next=\autoinsertnextspace" to make \startfootnote\stopfootnote work correctly...

Footnotes are not yet fixed (due to Hans' flue ...) So it is probably in vain trying to make sense of the current state of the footnote mechanism. Best wishes, Steffen
