Hi,
while desperately working on footnote markers I found this email from 9 months ago. Is there in the meanwhile some news for a kind of "\setupfootnotemarker"?
what exactly do you want to achieve? one can influence footnote markers using the conversion key
\setupfootnotes[conversion=set 2]
and alike; one can create his/her own set if needed

For example I would like to have footnote marker SansSerif. If I would do it with the conversion key like this... \setupbodyfont[4pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=45pt] \definefont [FNfont][Sans at 10.5pt]\def\setfootnotebodyfont{\FNfont\setupinterlinespace[line=13pt]} \definefont [FNXfont][Serif at 10.5pt]\setupfootnotedefinition[style=\FNXfont] \defineconversion[HowAboutIt][\ss] \setupfootnotes[conversion=HowAboutIt,numbercommand=] \starttext \input tufte \footnote{\input knuth } \input tufte \footnote{\input knuth } \stoptext ... then suddenly the number in front of the footnote text becomes 4pt. If I do it without conversion... \setupfootnotes[numbercommand=] ... then the number in front of the footnote text is 19.5 -- as defined in FNfont. That's why I felt the conversion key is not so reliable in this case. Steffen

You're lucky that currently i'm merging in the experimental multiple footnote and line notes modules (needed by idris cum suis); so adding a few additional keys was easy: \starttext \setupcolors[state=start] \setupfootnotes[textcommand=\high,textstyle=\ss\tx,textcolor=red] test \footnotetext{test} test test \note\ test test \footnotetext{test} test test \notesymbol[footnote]\ test \stoptext
If I would do it with the conversion key like this...
\setupbodyfont[4pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=45pt]
\definefont [FNfont][Sans at 10.5pt]\def\setfootnotebodyfont{\FNfont\setupinterlinespace[line=13pt]} \definefont [FNXfont][Serif at 10.5pt]\setupfootnotedefinition[style=\FNXfont]
btw, you can say: \definefont [FNfont][Sans at 10.5pt][interlinespace=13pt]
\defineconversion[HowAboutIt][\ss] \setupfootnotes[conversion=HowAboutIt,numbercommand=]
hm, this is not what conversion is meant for -) conversion is fed a number so you end up in a mix up of conversion and font switching and actully luck that you get something

a good observation -) Hans
