Command \thanks from LaTeX
Hello, Searching for a \thanks equivalent command on ConTeXt, I ended up on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/LaTeX_Thanks. But I didn't like that solution, because the author footnote is placed on a new area instead the same as text footnotes. So I made a simple solution, that the author footnotes is placed in the same area and doesn't interfere on real counter. I want here to share my solution, below you can see it. \definestartstop[author] [before={\savenumber[footnote] \resetnumber[footnote] \start \let\thanks\footnote \setupfootnotes[numberconversion=set 2]}, after={\stop \restorenumber[footnote]}] It can be used as that: \startauthor Wagner Macedo\thanks{Brazilian citizen} \stopauthor Of course, I could did a \author command, but I generally prefer to use start/stop blocks. What do you think? This could be improved?

\starttext The Author\footnote[+]{This is a regular footnote without the number.} Another sample text\footnote{A footnote with a number}. \stoptext Wolfgang
Good tip, but has some drawbacks. 1) It doesn't work on context current (2011.05.18 18:04). Instead a mark, is displayed a normal numbered footnote. 2) On beta (2012.01.12 11:03), it's not displaying the symbol mark in the text. The footnote is visible, but not the mark. 3) It can only be used with one author, because a second \footnote[+] is typeset with the same symbol. -- Wagner Macedo On 21 January 2012 06:56, Wolfgang Schuster < schuster.wolfgang@googlemail.com> wrote:
