Hi everybody, Right now I'm writing an article and in the title's block I wanna thank somebody and in the authors' block I wanna display the email addresses. And I want them done with footnotes with "set 2" conversion. When I use =========================================== \definenote[thanks][conversion=set 2] \definenote[email] [conversion=set 2, textstyle=type] =========================================== The footnotes are shown with two areas, one for the \thanks and another for the \email, and they all started with "*" symbol, I mean there're two footnotes noted by star-symbol. I know I can just use \setupfootnotes[conversion=set 2] and do all my job by only using \footnote macro, but it's just of curiosity, can I use those meaningful macros to do continuously numbered footnotes and displayed only one area at the bottom of the page. -- Best Regards Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

Hi Chen, I took a quick look at the source and it seems this is not possible, but you define email as macro and call thank in the expansion text. \def\email#1{\thanks{\type{#1}}} or better \def\email#1{\thanks{\hyphenatedurl{#1}}} % breaks at the line end Wolfgang

Thanks Wolfgang,
I looked at the source a little bit but all macros are defined with
insertion and I don't know how to make them share a same counter. Maybe we
need a new \definerelatednote macro.
Anyway, your suggestion makes sense.

You could try to look into the definition and description macros, Aditya provided souch a feature for enumerations to use the same number for different environments, the float mechanism has something similliar to use one number for different floats. You try to start with these moduls and adapt it to the note machanism. Wolfgang

Yes, I would love to do that. But I have some politics things to read. I have to remember them in one month. So please forgive my laziness. After then, I will have time to test luatex on Chinese and some other interesting things like the Weiqi module or the footnote we are talking about.

I think you're also interested in the following link, there is module for LaTeX and plain TeX to write gezhu (intertextpostil) with XeTeX. http://code.google.com/p/gezhu/ I have myself also no time to write any code for the second version of the weiqi module. Wolfgang

I knew it. It's an excellent job, actually it uses hbox rather than vbox. And it end a paragraph to get the horizontal position with \lastbox before the intertextpostil and then it can test whether or not the postil could fit the rest of the line. Anyway, in the ancient Chinese people's defense, one column is just one page. They write things on a piece of long narrow bamboo from top to bottom and weave them from right to left. So I still think I should use a \box255 to store one column and change the \output routine to weave them on a page. But it's a little slow when using page arrangement so I guess I should design a new algorithm myself to make it useful. And the intertextpostil would use multicolumn with ConTeXt easily with no hacks.
