Idris, here's my hack for achieving this footnote format (which seems much more common in the humanities than the default provided by ConTeXt): \def\NoteNumber#1{\hbox to 15pt{\hfill #1.}} \setupfootnotes[rule=off, distance=-3em, margindistance=-3em, numbercommand=\NoteNumber] \def\MyFootnote#1{\footnote{\hskip4em #1}} Best Thomas On Jun 10, 2005, at 5:56 AM, Idris Samawi Hamid wrote:

Dear gang,

Normally ConTeXt places the footnote number in the margin with the footnote text completely justified. How do I bring the footnote number just within the left margin (atmargin) and slightly indenting the first line (and only the first line) of the footnote? I have played with setupfootnotes to no avail, though I'm sure this must be trivial.

Thnx in advance Idris
