Hi, still searching for a working solution how to deal with my 757 footnotes I tried to avoid the error by using buffers. But again: ! Dimension too large. Is there really no way of emptying that "cache" - and maybe split it in footnote 1-350 and footnote 351-757? Thank you, Steffen Hans Hagen wrote:

OK, I have more than 700 footnotes - but when using "location=page" everything works fine.

I was trying to find whether there is something missing when I just continue, and I found the TableOfContent is cut. But the text and the footnotes as well seem to be OK.

Is there a patch helping me to avoid this error?

Why not use the following mechanism:

\starttext

\definelist[MyNoteList]

\newcounter\MyNotes

\long\def\MyNote#1% {\ifhmode\unskip\fi \doglobal\increment\MyNotes\relax \high{\MyNotes}% \expanded{\writetolist[MyNoteList]{\MyNotes}}{#1}}

\dorecurse{1000}{test \MyNote{Whow, another note}\endgraf}

\page \placelist[MyNoteList][criterium=text]

\stoptext

You can format the list any way you like, e.g.:

\def\MyNoteList#1#2#3{#1\quad#2\endgraf}

\placelist[MyNoteList][criterium=text,command=\MyNoteList]

also, you can now cal lthem per chapter,

\placelist[MyNoteList][criterium=chapter]

etc
