Hi Hans, I'm very sorry - maybe i'm blind today - but I can't see any change. What does "headcommand=\llap" actually mean? I tried with various parameter, but again no effect. Could you give a small example please? Steffen

Does this distance cannot be adjusted?

can you make me a small demo file?

Hans

Yes, sure. I just made a frame around the footnote number so you'll can clearly see the gap:

\def\myFNnumber#1{\inframed[width=\leftmarginwidth,offset=.0em,frame=on,align=left]{#1}} \setupfootnotedefinition[command=\myFNnumber,location=inleft] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location={header,right}] \showframe \showgrid

\starttext test\footnote{first note} \page testest\footnote{second note} \stoptext

this is not so much a bug but a missing feature -)

in cont-new.tex, add:

\startconstants dutch english german czech italian romanian

kopcommando: kopcommando headcommand headcommand headcommand headcommand headcommand

\stopconstants

\unprotect \setvalue{@@definitie\v!commando}#1{\do@@definitie{\executeifdefined{\??dd#1\c!kopcommando}\framed}{#1}} \protect

Now you can say:

\setupfootnotedefinition[location=command,headcommand=\llap]

and go wild with putting footnote markers anywhere
