I updated the documentation on context garden. Hans, I hadn't noticed that you updated the macros on the same day as your last message!

I had another question regarding the definition of notes/footnotes. It is not that important but I am curious: is it possible to define two notes that are essentially the same except for some of their stylistic definitions? Let me give an example.

some text \Afootnote{A} more text \Bfootnote{B} some more text \Afootnote{C}

And I want the result at the bottom of the page to read:

1 A 2 B 3 C

However, I'd like to have the power to control how the numbers are typeset in the text and at the bottom, as well as determine the fonts, etc. of \Afootnote and \Bfootnote separately.

\definenote[handnote][footnote] \setupnotation[handnote][style=bold] \definenote[earnote] [footnote] \setupnotation[earnote] [style=bolditalic,color=green] \definenote[nosenote][earnote] \setupnotation[nosenote][color=red] \starttext a foot note \footnote{A} a hand note \handnote{B} an ear note \earnote{C} a nose note \nosenote{D} \stoptext

That said, I'm not asking for this to be the default. I only want to know how it can be achieved. The code will be put in my style file or module.

i'll add rule=paragraph (i.e. listen to the first following paragraph if possible) ... you need to document it as for sure i forget about it

Awesome! Thanks, Hans! Once this becomes available and I test it, I'll update the documentation for Footnotes on Context Garden.

Is it possible to determine the direction of the first line of footnote block while typesetting the footnote rule? I imagine it should not be difficult in Lua. Note that this may be the leftover from a long footnote that started on some previous page.
