I have a few footnotes that are longer. New paragraphs are not indented, I’d like to have everything except the first paragraph indented. By hand is OK, but the only thing I can think of is a couple of ~ at the start of each new par, not very nice and it doesn’t by definition align perfectly. Is there a nicer way?

\setupindenting[yes,medium,next]

\setupnotation[footnote][indenting={yes,medium}]

\starttext

\input knuth \startfootnote \input knuth \stopfootnote

\stoptext

Thanks, Can this also be used with \footnote{}? And out of curiosity & understanding on how ConTeXt works: what does setupindenting do in this example? Why is it necessary? G

Hi Gerben,

The command \setupindenting is there for the main text to be indented (with the key « yes »). I guess Wolfgang gave it in order for you to have your main text to be indented, in accordance with what you wanted for your footnotes. The default value of setupindenting is « no ». If you wish you can have different indentations for your main text and for your footnotes.

On the other hand the command \setupnotation[footnote][indenting={yes,medium}] is there for your footnotes to have the desired indentation, and it is clear that you can use also \footnote{\input knuth.tex} and get your footnote with indentation (just try it… :-)

I tried. It gets me: ! Undefined control sequence. l.141 \setupnotation [footnote][indenting={yes,medium}] G

When you use MkII you have to replace \setupnotation with \setupnotedefinition.

That works. Thanks. G
