To:ntg-context@ntg.nl Subject: [NTG-context] Indented footnotes in ConTeXt Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Greetings!
I am writing a German critical edition in which I am using endnotes, and I am encountering severe difficulties with formatting them as I should wish.
The idea is to indent the entire footnote?marker and text?0.5in.
In ConTeXt (Mark II) on XeTeX, I can move the footnote marker with this set-up:
\definenote[critical][conversion=characters, way=bychapter, location=text, bodyfont=12pt, margindistance=-.5in, align=flushleft]
Then I move the text by adding the unsightly but functional hack \hskip.5into the beginning of the argument of \critical or \criticaltext. Unfortunately, the endnotes do not flow from page to page in Mark II, and, from the comments on the source code, it appears that this cannot be helped. Given the length and number of endnotes needed for my project, ConTeXt (Mark II) on XeTeX does not seem viable.
In ConTeXt (Mark IV) on LuaTeX, on the other hand, the endnotes do flow from page to page, but the formatting does not appear to respond to the margindistance key. From various related posts, the answer appears to lie in \setupnotation, but, whenever I attempt to pass this command, I get an ?undefined control sequence? error.
In short, my question is, How do I code indenting each endnote .5in with the highest degree of automation and fewest hacks possible?
Sincerely yours, Adam Khan
You can try, what I use for footnotes, maybe this is what you want or helps? \setupnotation[footnote][ alternative=left, width=2em, numbercommand=\hskip1.6em\high] %Fußnoten werden eingerückt und Nummer hochgestellt Viel Erfolg. Huseyin
