Can \note repeat its footnote?
Hi all! The \note[xxx] command is used to reference a previously defined footnote. Is it possible that the previously defined footnote is repeated if a page break had occured between the \footnote[xxx]{bla bla bla} and the corresponding \note[xxx] command? Thanks for your attention, --Stefan

I've tried to build a macro based on \ifnum\currentpage=\at[xxx] (or similar), but without success. In LaTeX I've used something like this: \ifthenelse{\thepage=\pageref{LastPage}} Perhaps, there is something similar in ConTeXt?

it's incredible what kin dof wishes users can come up with -) \def\myfootnote[#1]#2% let's guess that #2 is without catcode problems {\setxvalue{note:#1}{\footnote{#2}}\footnote[note:a:#1]{#2}} \def\mynote[#1]% {\removeunwantedspaces \pagereference[note:b:#1]% \doifreferencefoundelse{note:a:#1} {\edef\NotePageA{\number\currentrealreference}% \doifreferencefoundelse{note:b:#1} {\edef\NotePageB{\number\currentrealreference}% \ifnum\NotePageA<\NotePageB\relax \getvalue{note:#1}% \else \note[note:a:#1]% \fi} {\note[note:a:#1]}} {\note[note:a:#1]}} \starttext test \myfootnote[funny]{first occurence} test\mynote[funny] test \myfootnote[again]{first occurence} \page test \mynote[again] \stoptext hardly tested Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Hans, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately your solution does not work correctly. The following example produces one footnote at the first page but no footnote on the second page. \starttext funny\myfootnote[funny]{funny} funny\mynote[funny] \page funny\mynote[funny] funny\mynote[funny] \stoptext --Stefan PS: Would it be possible to use the same footnote mark again when a footnote is repeated?

\def\myfootnote[#1]#2% let's guess that #2 is without catcode problems {\setxvalue{note:#1}{\footnote{#2}}\footnote[note:a:#1]{#2}}

sure but this needs some thought (for instance clashing numbers/symbols) \def\myfootnote[#1]#2% let's guess that #2 is without catcode problems {\setgvalue{note:t:#1}% {\setxvalue{note:l:#1}{\getvalue{note:n:#1}}% \footnote[note:a:#1:\getvalue{note:l:#1}]{#2}}% \setgvalue{note:n:#1}% {1}% \getvalue{note:t:#1}}% \def\mynote[#1]% {\removeunwantedspaces \scratchcounter\getvalue{note:n:#1}\relax \edef\NoteNumber{\the\scratchcounter}% \doglobal\incrementvalue{note:n:#1}\relax \doifreferencefoundelse{note:a:#1:1} {\edef\NotePageA{\number\currentrealreference}% \doifreferencefoundelse{note:a:#1:\getvalue{note:n:#1}} {\edef\NotePageB{\number\currentrealreference}% \doifreferencefoundelse{note:a:#1:\NoteNumber} {\ifnum\currentrealreference=\NotePageB\relax \pagereference[note:a:#1:\getvalue{note:n:#1}]% \note[note:a:#1:\getvalue{note:l:#1}]% \else\ifnum\NotePageA=\NotePageB\relax \pagereference[note:a:#1:\getvalue{note:n:#1}]% \note[note:a:#1:\getvalue{note:l:#1}]% \else \getvalue{note:t:#1}% \fi\fi} {\ifnum\NotePageA=\NotePageB\relax \pagereference[note:a:#1:\getvalue{note:n:#1}]% \note[note:a:#1:\getvalue{note:l:#1}]% \else \getvalue{note:t:#1}% \fi}} {\pagereference[note:a:#1:\getvalue{note:n:#1}]% \note[note:a:#1:\getvalue{note:l:#1}]}} {\pagereference[note:a:#1:\getvalue{note:n:#1}]% \note[note:a:#1:\getvalue{note:l:#1}]}} \starttext % test \myfootnote[funny]{first occurence} test\mynote[funny] % test \myfootnote[again]{first occurence} \page test \mynote[again] funny \myfootnote[funny]{funny} funny \mynote[funny] \page funny \mynote[funny] funny \mynote[funny] funny \mynote[funny] \page funny \mynote[funny] funny \mynote[funny] \page funny \mynote[funny] funny \mynote[funny] funny \mynote[funny] \page \stoptext
Hi Hans, many thanks for your help. Now it works. Great! I try to come along without having the same footnote marker for repeated footnotes. (This would make sense only if footnotes are sequentially numbered over a whole document.) Thanks again, --Stefan
