The latest ConTeXt MKIV (standalone) does not produce footnotes. \startcomponent Stuff\footnote{a note.} \stopcomponent This will show “Stuff” with a footnote call but no footnote appears at the bottom of the page. All is as it should be with MKII. Alan

In the beta seems fixed. I'll do some further testing once it's propagated to the TeXlive pretest (tomorrow, I think). Best wishes -- Marco

I imported the latest beta into TL and also defined this_is_texlive (but maybe there will be more changes related to texmfcnf.lua). So yes, please test. Mojca

Hello there Some further testing shows problems with footnotes: %% start minimal \setupfootnotes[way=bychapter] \starttext \chapter{chap} hello\footnote{ciao} \chapter{chap} hello\footnote{ciao} \stoptext %%% stop The numbering is not by chapter any more. (from TeXlive pretest) mtx-context | current version: 2012.05.25 18:21 also happens with the Minimals mtx-context | current version: 2012.05.26 16:40 Further problems are found on a document of mine, which once compiled with these versions, have the first footnote starting with the number 3. I'm bisecting and I'll let you know once I've found what it triggers it (because it's longish and doesn't really help as it is now). Best wishes. -- Marco

%% start minimal \setupfootnotes[way=bychapter]
\setupnotation[footnote][way=bychapter,start=2]
Ok, thanks, that works for the bychapter thing. (Apologies, I didn't keep track of this setup change). But the "3" numbering is another problem. It starts at "3" by itself. As I said, I'm trying to figure out what it triggers it, as the document is long and will take a while to strip it down. -- Marco

Ok, here we are: \starttext \placelist[chapter,section] hello\footnote{ciao} \chapter{Hello\footnote{weird!}} \section{Hello\footnote{another fn}} hello\footnote{ciao} \stoptext The first footnote will start at 3 by itself. There is some weird interference between the placelist and the footnote, as removing the \placelist the numbering starts correctly. Found in both the latest minimals and in the TeXlive pretest. Best wishes -- Marco

I sent a fix to the dev list. Wolfgang
