Steve— Thanks for the reply, but it seems to me that this will affect only the spacing and placement of a footnote number in relation to the footnote proper—which is very cool and I will use what you have relayed. My immediate problem, however, is the paragraph indent in footnotes that have more than one paragraph. Still, I take it that \setupnote and \setupnotedefinition are the commands I need. Do you know where the documentation is for these commands? Is there a way to turn on indentation? I have checked the various PDF manuals and they are not mentioned.

My solution (worked out with Steve Peter and Hans at PracTeX Chapel Hill:

\def\MyNum#1{\hskip2em\relax#1. }%\hskip your indent here \setupnote[footnote][numbercommand=\MyNum] \setupnotedefinition[footnote][location=left,hang=1]

Of course, to have a superscripted number you say \def\MyNum#1{\hskip2em\relax$^{#1}$

I have checked the manual but do not see how to adapt \setupfootnotes to do this, and my attempts thus far with \setupfootnotedefinition have not been unsuccessful either.

Thanks for any help or pointers.

I don't know better, but this works:

\setupindenting[small] \let\footnoteO\footnote \long\def\footnote#1{\footnoteO{\setupindenting[small]#1}} %% or %\long\def\footnote#1{\footnoteO{\setupindenting[small]\indent#1}} \def\SomePars{\dorecurse5{\dorecurse{50}{bla }\par}} \starttext \SomePars bla\footnote{\SomePars} \stoptext

Peter—

On further testing, I see that while I now have indented paragraphs in my footnotes, I no longer have the ability to name and cross- reference them. \footnote{footnote text} works well, but \footnote [name]{footnote text} now seems broken.

The latest version of ConTeXt (ver: 2005.07.20 fmt: 2005.7.21 int: english mes: english) seems to have changed \setupindenting in such a way that % for footnotes with paragraphs \let\myfn\footnote \def\footnote{\dosingleempty\mydofootnote} \long\def\mydofootnote[#1]#2{% \iffirstargument \myfn[#1]{\setupindenting[big]#2}% \else \myfn{\setupindenting[big]#2}% \fi } which was suggested by Vít Zyka and used to work perfectly, now does not. All my footnote paragraphs are now set without an indent. Changing \setupindenting to \indenting does not seem to work (though it does in the body text for normal paragraphing). What am I missing?
