Hi all, I'm sorry I have to ask again about footnotes setup. I misunderstood the style that our publisher wants. Maybe it's easiest when I do a bit of ASCII art (will only work with a fixed-width font): | texttexttexttexttex | | textexttexttexttext | | | | 9 footnote 9, more | | than one line. | | 10 footnote 10. | So: the footnote numbers in the footnotes are typeset in a box. This box is just big enough to hold a three-digit footnote number. Its left edge is flush with the text area. Within this box, the note number is aligned flushright. The footnote text itself is one block; this block is indented a fixed amount: the publisher wants all indentations (normal paragraphs, blockquotes, footnotes) to be identical; let's say 16pt. I played with the parameters of \setupnotedefinition and \setupfootnotes that Wolfgang taught me yesterday, but I just can't find the right combination. Will wikify! All best Thomas

it's an interaction between parameters (different meaning in notes as description) .. side effect of par notes .. need a bit of thinking but solvable ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Will wikify!
this works again: \starttext \showframe \setupnotedefinition[footnote][location=left,width=1cm] \setupnote[footnote][location=page,numbercommand=] test \footnote{test} \stoptext this has changed (display key): \setupnote [footnote][paragraph=yes,numbercommand=,inbetween=\hskip.5em\vl\hskip.5em] \setupdescriptions[footnote][display=no,location=serried,distance=.5em] % before=,after= \starttext \startlocalfootnotes local 1a\footnote{local note 1a} local 1b\footnote{local note 1b} \placelocalfootnotes \stoplocalfootnotes \blank global 1a\footnote{global note 1a} global 1b\footnote{global note 1b} \blank \startlocalfootnotes local 2a\footnote{local note 2a} local 2b\footnote{local note 2b} \placelocalfootnotes \stoplocalfootnotes \blank global 2a\footnote{global note 2a} global 2b\footnote{global note 2b} \blank \startlocalfootnotes local 3a\footnote{local note 3a} local 3b\footnote{local note 3b} \placelocalfootnotes \stoplocalfootnotes \blank global 2a\footnote{\input tufte } global 2b\footnote{global note 2b} \blank \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Great, this is what I need! I have adapted it like so to have the numbers flushright in a box: \starttext \def\NoteNumber#1{\showboxes\hbox to 16pt{\hbox to 12.5pt{\strut\hfill #1}}} \showframe \setupnotedefinition[footnote][location=left,width=16pt] \setupnote[footnote][location=page,numbercommand=\NoteNumber] \dorecurse{11}{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.\footnote{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor note \recurselevel .}\par} \stoptext So, before I wikify: \setupnotedefinition[location=left,width=<dimension>] controls the width of the area where the number will be typeset and of the indentation. But which key controls whether the number is typeset in the margin or in the text area? Thanks! Thomas

location ... note are just descriptions; so there's also distance and so (btw, in principle, as notes are also list entries, you could call them up in an appendix as well, but I didn't test that) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
