Fortunately, it's much easier that that ;-) % Argument to after= controls vertical space between notes \setupnotation [footnote][before={\setupwhitespace[big]},indenting={yes,big},after={\blank[small]}] As mentioned in the other email, the first "next" is apparently already built in, no no need for it.

It is Hans in his Superman disguise , :D.

The ConTeXt meetings are a great opportunity to ask BOTH Hans and Wolfgang everything that you might have wanted to know about ConTeXt (and were afraid to ask on the mailing list). Alan

I’m not sure whether this is clearer to me. It seems that your approach enables indenting by setting vertical space in paragraphs. I may be missing something, since I’d bet that the setups for notes approach is clearer.

Didn't mean to confuse you, all you need is

\setupnotation[footnote][indenting={yes,big}] % no "next"

Many thanks for the explanation, Idris. I forgot to add big to indenting in \setupnotation. This was the reason why it didn’t work. And why setups aren’t needed there. Best Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Dear gang,

In the attached example: For a given footnote I would like for the first line of each paragraph after paragraph one to be indented. What do I need to do to get this right? Thanks in advance, and

Best wishes Idris

============ \setupindenting[big,yes] \setupheads[indentnext=no] \setupnotation[footnote][command={\setupindenting[big,yes]},indenting=yes,next]

1. You have to put braces around the arguments for the indenting key.

2. Change the notation setup to \setupnotation[footnote][indenting={yes,big}] because notes ignore the global indent value.

Hi Wolfgang, with the following sample: \setupindenting[big,yes] \startsetups[footnote:indenting] \setupindenting[big,yes] \stopsetups \setupheads[indentnext=no] \setupnote[footnote][setups=footnote:indenting] \setupnotation[footnote][indenting={yes}] \starttext \input ward\footnote{\dorecurse{3}{\input ward\par}} \input ward \stoptext it works as expected. Changing indenting to {yes, next} only the third paragraph in the footnote is indented. Isn’t it a bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

My guess is that the first "next" is already hardwired into the footnote mechanism. If you remove the "next" it should work. So this works here:

% \setupnotation[footnote][indenting={yes,big,next}] \setupnotation[footnote][indenting={yes,big}]

When I had the "next" I got the same result as you.

I will show below the reason for the unexpected behaviour of the next keyword. What you should keep in mind is that context uses the same mechanism for enumerations, description and note entries. In older versions of the mechanism indentation was set before the title and content where placed but this produces unwanted results when you used the “next” keyword because the title itself was recognised as first paragraph (see page 1). After moving the indentation setting between the title and the content (see page 2) the “next” keyword produced the expected output. The problem is now when make the title part of the first paragraph because the indentation is changed until we start the second paragraph and the “next” keyword applies now to the third paragraph. %%%% begin example \setuppapersize[A5] \starttext % Page 1 \start \setupindenting[yes,medium,next] \noindent{\bf Description Title} \input knuth \stop \page % Page 2 \start \noindent{\bf Description Title} \setupindenting[yes,medium,next] \input knuth \stop \page % Page 3 \start \noindent{\bf Description Title} \setupindenting[yes,medium,next] \input knuth \stop \stoptext %%%% end example Wolfgang

Thanks, Wolfgang -- or is it Hans? ;-) -- for this very instructive example!

I just made one change: \noindentation instead of \noindent (my understanding is that we're supposed to avoid very low-level indenting commands).

So the first paragraph of a footnote insertion contains an implicit title, or does the footnote numeral function as title? Anyway, very interesting!

The footnote number is placed as title. Wolfgang
