Hello, Footnotes are (still?) undergoing development in mkiv. I have several issues: 1. way=bypage does not seem to work \setupnote[footnote][way=bypage,numberconversion=set 2] \starttext \input{tufte}\footnote{Note.} \page \input{dawkins}\footnote{Another note.} \stoptext (I do not find numberconversion in strc-not.mkvi; nevertheless, numbered footnotes do not get reset on each page.) 2. next=\autoinsertnextspace still does not work \setupnote[footnote][next=\autoinsertnextspace] \starttext Subject% \startfootnote Note. \stopfootnote verb. \stoptext (Note, however, that \starttext Subject\footnote{Note.} verb. \stoptext does not exhibit this problem, as the space does not get eaten!)

\setupnote[footnote][way=bypage,numberconversion=set 2] \starttext \input{tufte}\footnote{Note.} \page \input{dawkins}\footnote{Another note.} \stoptext
Counter settings are applied with the \setupnotation command.
(I do not find numberconversion in strc-not.mkvi; nevertheless, numbered footnotes do not get reset on each page.)
Footnotes use a internal version of \setupcounter for the counter setups. Wolfgang

So, this is a treasure hunt! I tried \setupnotation[footnote][way=bypage,numberconversion=set 2] and this works, (I just corrected the wiki) sort-of: If one manages to get a footnote reference at the bottom of a page, where there is no room to place the footnote, and there is at least one footnote reference on the following page, this results in two successive footnotes having the same reference number (or symbol)! This is a bug. What about \startfootnote \stopfootnote and \autoinsertnextspace ? Alan
