How to setup the footnote number in local footnotes

Dear gang, Consider the following: ============== \starttext \startframedtext[width=fit,frame=off,offset=0pt] % \startlocalfootnotes[n=2] \startlocalfootnotes \input ward \startfootnote \input ward \stopfootnote \placelocalfootnotes \stoplocalfootnotes \stopframedtext \stoptext ============== See attached: 1) Would like the footnote-number counter to start at 2, not 1. 2) Alternatively, would like to be able to define a conversion that sets the footnote numeral to 2. 3) Uncommenting the line % \startlocalfootnotes[n=2] doesn't work, although it is mentioned here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/startlocalfootnotes So that must be for MKII.. Any pointers in setting up 1) and 2) are much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Consider the following:
============== \starttext \startframedtext[width=fit,frame=off,offset=0pt] % \startlocalfootnotes[n=2] \startlocalfootnotes \input ward \startfootnote \input ward \stopfootnote
\placelocalfootnotes \stoplocalfootnotes \stopframedtext \stoptext ==============
See attached:
1) Would like the footnote-number counter to start at 2, not 1.
Add \setcounter[footnote][1] after \startlocalfootnotes.
2) Alternatively, would like to be able to define a conversion that sets the footnote numeral to 2. 3) Uncommenting the line % \startlocalfootnotes[n=2] doesn't work, although it is mentioned here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/startlocalfootnotes So that must be for MKII..
Check setup-en.pdf for valid arguments in MkIV. Wolfgang

\setcounter[footnote][1]
after \startlocalfootnotes.
Works, many thanks.
2) Alternatively, would like to be able to define a conversion that sets the footnote numeral to 2. 3) Uncommenting the line % \startlocalfootnotes[n=2] doesn't work, although it is mentioned here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/startlocalfootnotes So that must be for MKII..

There are no options for \startlocalfootnotes and there is no command such as \setuplocalfootnotes. So how does one setup a conversion (or manual numbering) for localfootnotes? Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid, Professor Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80512
