Sorry, neither of these work (MkII with XeTeX). I get no error messages with Pablo's suggestion, but not the desired result either.

Perhaps I need a very primitive command that I can insert at the beginning of every chapter.

Robert,

your command reads:

\setupfootnotes[way=bychapter]

By default, footnote numbering seems to be reset by part.

Pablo's example works well on my machine. So there must be a disturbance at a different level in my complex text – perhaps in my settings: \setupnotedefinition [footnote] [location=serried, distance=1em, hang=1em] or \setupfootnotes[bodyfont={Mainfont,8pt}, width=\textwidth, frameoffset=1em, location=none, way=bychapter] which in all other respects work fine? ('Mainfont' is my own definition, from a typescript; I also added 'way=bychapter', to no effect.) The only thing that does not happen is the resetting of the note counter. If I had a command that simply says "the counter named X (=footnote counter) is now 0 again", which I could insert at the beginning of every chapter, the problem would be solved. (Not so elegant, but it would be a solution.) Robert

Weird, this works for me (with and without XeTeX):

\setuppapersize[A8] \setupnote[footnote][way=bychapter] \starttext \chapter{Chapter} \dorecurse{2}{Text\footnote{Footnote.}} \chapter{Chapter} \dorecurse{2}{Text\footnote{Footnote.}} \stoptext

Can you post a minimal example. Because the following works in MKII (counter reset at each chapter) \setupfootnotes[way=bychapter] \starttext \dorecurse{5} {\chapter{New Chapter} \dorecurse{5}{\input ward\footnote{A quote by ward}}} \stoptext The following also works with the counter reset at each section: \setupfootnotes[way=bysection] \starttext \dorecurse{5} {\section{New Chapter} \dorecurse{5}{\input ward\footnote{A quote by ward}}} \stoptext and the following works with the footnote reset at each page: \setupfootnotes[way=bypage] \starttext \dorecurse{5} {\section{New Chapter} \dorecurse{5}{\input ward\footnote{A quote by ward}}} \stoptext All examples were run using: ConTeXt ver: 2018.04.04 00:51 MKII fmt: 2018.7.3 int: english/english and the documents were compiled using texexec --xetex filename Aditya

Have you tried to use mkiv for your document. Wolfgang Robert Zydenbos schrieb am 09.08.18 um 14:49:

tex.stackexchange.com has page titled “How to manually reset the footnote numbering in ConTeXt?” (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/359702/how-to-manually-reset-the-foo...), where exactly the same question was asked:

---begin quote--- “I have a document with many footnotes, like this:

This is some text\footnote{This is a footnote}. This is some more text\footnote{This is another footnote}. This is yet another text\footnote{This is some more footnote text}. This produces footnotes numbered 1, 2, 3, etc.

I need to manually reset the footnote number back to 1. E.g.:

This is some text\footnote{This is a footnote}. This is some more text\footnote{This is another footnote}. \resetfootnote This is yet another text\footnote{This is some more footnote text}.

This should produce footnotes numbered 1, 2, then 1 again.”) ---end quote---

But no conclusive answer was found. The questioner then said: “I tried changing way=bypage and way=bysection, but it does not get the correct results, which is to have the numbers reset each time \placefootnotes is called. As bypage and bysection both don't do that, I need to be able to manually adjust the numbering.”

I have tried ‘\resetcounter [footnote]’ (a suggested solution on that web page), but it does not work (at least not in MkII+XeTeX). ‘\setupcounter [footnote] [0]’ (also suggested on that web page) is rejected as an error.

\setupnotation[footnote][way=bychapter]

\starttext \dorecurse{5} {\startchapter[title=New Chapter]   \dorecurse{5}{\input ward\footnote{A quote by ward}} \stopchapter} \stoptext

With regard to your other thread about documentation of footnotes, the way I understand it is that \setupnotation is used to configure how the actual footnote is displayed and setupnotation has similar options to \setupdescription. So, alternative=serried corresponds to a similar option for descriptions.

Note that the above is for MkIV. For MkII, I think that you need \setupfootnotes insted of \setupnotation[footnote]. Indeed, mkiv is different ... in fact notes are a complex mechanism:

- rendering in line (the marker) - rendering the text (anywhere) - interaction with the page builder (depending on kind) - stacking multiple classes - line notes (refering to lien numbers) etc. Most of what is in mkii is there in mkiv but in mkiv the textual rendering has been split and is called notation (on top of a generalized mechanism that also does descriptions, enumerations and more). The complication is that we need to group settings for (1) the markers, (2) the text, (3) the overall mechanism. Of course inheritance also kicks in then.
