I have been adapting some of my old Plain TeX macros to ConTeXt, using hints and suggestions from the ConTeXt wiki. What I have thus far works exactly as desired in the body text, but fails in the footnotes. I have appended some encoded text that shows the problem. Note the poor line-spacing and (unwanted) indentation in the first line of the quotation in the footnote: this quotation should look the same as the one in the body text. I realize that I could fix this simply by inserting a \noindent in the footnote, for instance. But I am trying to reduce the amount of thinking an coder has to do, and so would really like to define the startextract..\stopextract environment more effectively. Any pointers or suggestions for fixing this will be gratefully received.

You can remove the \noindent from your main text now.

Among printers this Latinate gibberish (which was “taken” from Cicero) was known as “greeked text” or as “printers’ Greek”—which is really nonsense and yet another reason not to pay attention to it! Alan On Oct 21, 2005, at 1:40 PM, Thomas A. Schmitz wrote:

Hi Alan, I tried your code. I made the extract to be typeset in red.- Indeed a poor spacing. I withdrew the \godown[0.10pc]. The result looked fine to me. Then I replaced the \godown by \blank[halfline], the result was again o.k. Finally the \godown[0.10pc] was replaced with \godown[12pt] and the result looks o.k. to me. - So may be that there is a problem with your unit pc. Willi Alan Bowen wrote:

indeed such small units start interfering with depth and interlinespacing Hans

don't use \godown, use \blank since it is more clever in accumulating cq. handling vertical spaces; also, \defineblank[footnotedistance][.1pc] and then using \blank[footnotedistance] makes the thing configurable (one can redefine the spacing outside the macro) Hans
