Hello,
I need two more twiks for my footnotes: I am using asterisk instead of numbers or letter for the footnotes.
Twik 1: My font is too slanted and the asterisk (*) is printed too close to the last word in the sentence. Example: Charles IV \footnote[]{asdfasdf} will print an asterisk touching the V letter. How do I instruct context to give me some room between the V and the asterisk?
Second twik: How to control the distance between the page text and the rule line that separates the footnote and the page text? I tried the "distance=", th e "height=" arguments in the setupfootnotes, but they don't do what I want. thank you
patch in core-not:
\unprotect
\def\dolastnotesymbol {\removeunwantedspaces \doifitalicelse\/\donothing % Charles IV \footnote{the fourth}
Just a question: why use 'italic correction' only for it/bi/sl/bs and not in every time (where is usually = 0pt but not necesserily)? It is part of font design. We are affraid of bad-designed fonts? If we do not want to add useless 0pt kern, we can write \/\ifdim\lastkern=0pt\unkern\fi vit
\ifdim\lastkern=\notesignal \dodonotesymbol{\kern\noteparameter\c!distance}% gets the font right, hack ! \fi \nobreak \doifelse{\noteparameter\c!interaction}\v!no
{\dodonotesymbol{\lastnotenumber\domovednote\v!previouspage\v!nextpage}% \ifconditional\pagewisenotes \rawreference\s!fnt{\s!fnt:f:\internalfootreference}{}% \fi} {\gotobox
{\dodonotesymbol{\lastnotenumber\domovednote\v!previouspage\v!nextpage}}% [\s!fnt:t:\internalfootreference]% \rawreference\s!fnt{\s!fnt:f:\internalfootreference}{}}% \globallet\lastnotesymbol\relax}
