Can I just put a footnote without marking in the main text?
Hi everybody, After some attempts to put footnotes in a mixed 1&2 columns layout, I decide to put marks in the one-column environment and flush them when entering the two-column environment. The code is ugly but the result is acceptable. Except that the invisible footnote marks do generate something in the main text, so there's a blank line for each footnote. Here's an MWE: ============================================= \definenote[address] \setupnote[address][rule=off,location=text] \definenote[putjustmark] \setupnote[putjustmark][location=none] \setupnotation[putjustmark][numberconversion=set 2] \definenote[putjustnote]%[footnote] % if footnotes need to be grouped, uncomment the second argument and the line after \the\titlefootnotes \setupnote[putjustnote][textcommand=\gobbleoneargument] \setupnotation[putjustnote][numberconversion=set 2] \newtoks\titlefootnotes \def\thanks#1{\putjustmark{#1}\appendtoks \putjustnote{#1} \to \titlefootnotes} \def\email#1{\putjustmark{#1}\appendtoks \putjustnote{#1} \to \titlefootnotes} \appendtoks \setcounter[footnote][0] % this looks stupid because it has no effect %\setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=numerals] \to \titlefootnotes \definenamespace [addr] [type=module, name=address, command=yes, setup=list, parent=addr, ] \define[1]\useaddress {\setnotetext[address][#1]{\namedaddressparameter{#1}{name}}} \starttext \defineaddress[fst][name={Name of Institute or Affiliation, City, Country}] \defineaddress[snd][name={Name of Secondary Institute or Affiliation, City, Country}] \processcommacommand[fst,snd]\useaddress The Title\thanks{Work supported by somebody.} Me\email{myemail@some.where}\high{,}\note[address][fst]\high{,}\note[address][snd] \placenotes[address] \blank[medium] \startcolumns \the\titlefootnotes %\setcounter[footnote][0] % why it's necessary to set the counter outside the token if I define [putjustnote] as [footnote]? test\footnote{test} \input knuth \stopcolumns \stoptext =============================================

Dear Massi,
Thanks for your solution. But the thing may be related to the \appendtoks
macro. It doesn't work to put just \setnotetext there.
\note works fine, so that's the reason I need the "full functional macro".
Maybe I didn't get the point, so if it's not too much to ask, could you do
it on my MWE?
PS: sorry I have to use another email account because my institute mailbox
took forever to get the message before my government (China) finishes
auditing it.
Best wishes,
Zhichu
