Hi Taco, There two documents /context-minimal/tex/texmf-context/doc/context/documents/general/manuals/notnow.pdf and /context-minimal/tex/texmf-context/doc/context/documents/general/manuals/pagecolumns.pdf written by Hans in which he says that long footnotes and columns cannot be treated correctly yet (in the first one) and in the second he says that pagecolumns can handle a « sane » usage of columns and footnotes… Indeed the following works but not with your example :-( Best regards: OK \definepagecolumns [example] [n=2, distance=5mm] \starttext \startpagecolumns[example] \dorecurse {7} { \samplefile{tufte} \footnote{This is a short footnote.} \par } \stoppagecolumns \stoptext

Hi,

With the new version of columns, how do I get multi-line footnotes? I tried various things with \setupnotation but nothing seems to work?

MWE:

\starttext \startcolumns \dorecurse{3}{\input ward\footnote{\input zapf} } \stopcolumns \stoptext

Best wishes, Taco
