Wikifying: footnotes in margin - two questions
Hi all, when Hans introduced the criterium option to \setupnote in recent betas of MkIV, he asked me to wikify the problem of typesetting footnotes in the margin in order to demonstrate the usage of that option. There are, however, two questions I'd like to settle first. For one thing, the new algorithm is still error prone as I can provide examples where it fails. What is the preferred way to point out such a problem (in the wiki or whereever), so it will be delt with eventually? Secondly, can someone please explain to me why the example below produces so strikingly different results when processed with MkII or MkIV? In particular, I'd like to know why the footnote numbers are placed differently and, unless this is due to a bug, how to mimic the MkII behaviour in MkIV. Thanks in advance, Elias \setuplayout[backspace=6cm,width=middle,rightmarginwidth=4cm, rightmargindistance=5mm] \doifelse{MKIV}{\contextmark}{ \setupnote[footnote][location=text,criterium=page, before=,rule=off]}{ \setupnote[footnote][factor=0,before=,rule=off, width=\rightmarginwidth]} \setuptexttexts[margin][][ \vbox to \textheight {\vfill\placenotes[footnote]}] \starttext \showframe \dorecurse{12}{A little more test\footnote{Note the alignment of consecutive lines.} text in order to achieve a certain filling of the page. } \stoptext
