Is there any hope for this (not to rare) design in footnotes?

local notes or page notes in mkii there is an option (n=0,location=text) but not yet in mkiv ... I delayed it till we had opened up more of the pagebuilder in luatex (as now we need some real hackery .. inserts are not really made for that) i can have a look at it Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I uploaded an alpha release. You need to take the alpha zip from the website and unpack it in texmf-context. This is just a test. % \enabletrackers[structure.notes] \setupnote [footnote][paragraph=yes,numbercommand=,inbetween=\hskip.5em\vl\hskip.5em] \setupdescriptions[footnote][paragraph=no,location=serried,distance=.5em] % before=,after= \starttext \startlocalfootnotes local 1a\footnote{local note 1a} local 1b\footnote{local note 1b} \placelocalfootnotes \stoplocalfootnotes \blank global 1a\footnote{global note 1a} global 1b\footnote{global note 1b} \blank \startlocalfootnotes local 2a\footnote{local note 2a} local 2b\footnote{local note 2b} \placelocalfootnotes \stoplocalfootnotes \blank global 2a\footnote{global note 2a} global 2b\footnote{global note 2b} \blank \startlocalfootnotes local 3a\footnote{local note 3a} local 3b\footnote{local note 3b} \placelocalfootnotes \stoplocalfootnotes \blank global 2a\footnote{\input tufte } global 2b\footnote{global note 2b} \blank \stoptext You need to be a bit tolerant with this mechanism. It uses the same trick as in mkii, and you can find more about the trick used on pages 398 and 399 of the texbook. The inbetween material cannot be too large. Also, the distance between the text and footnotes should be large enough to catch a potential overflow, although normally there is enough stretch in a paragraph. (I can support ragged right if needed, but it would involve another trick.) ps for Wolfgang: we need to discuss this at the context meeting. Maybe we should have some predefined variants. As you're looking into parameters (the cont-en.xml thing) ... we need to check those related to notes and descriptions, as there are some subtle differences with mkii. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
