Hi again, I tried MkIV 20111112 12:34 now and added "\setupfootnotes[location=columns]", trying also all other values listed in [1], at the beginning of my example below. They don't seem to do something that looks as if it is intended behaviour. The only thing I can do by now is using \setupfootnotes[location=text] together with \placefootnotes after \stopcolumnset, but I don't like that very much in my current document. I also note that, whichever method I use to place the footnotes, the number always ends up in the first column, never in the second (even with \placefootnotes between \start...\stopcolumnset). I hope someone can give me some insight here. Thanks in advance and best regards, Stefan [1] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/setupfootnotes On 31.10.2011 17:53, Stefan Müller wrote:

Hi folks,

please consider the following example.

\starttext \startcolumnset[n=2] \dorecurse{4}{\input knuth\footnote{Some footnote which is not wrapped correctly and has a bad number}} \stoptext

The footnotes are very messed-up (overlapping, numbers all in left column). Is there a better way to place such footnotes in column sets? Am I doing something wrong? I'm using 20111028 22:32 MKIV.

Thank you very much in advance! Stefan
