Hi all, I am still trying to get the footnote numbers aligned in a special way: flushright, but the width depends on the width of the max footnote-number on page, so to get 1 2 and ~9 10 After reading the manuals and the source given in strc-not.lua thats how far i am at the moment: \enabletrackers[structures.notes] \setupnote[footnote][numbercommand=, way=bypage] \setupnotedefinition[footnote][location=left,distance=1em,hang=4,headalign={flushright},width=1em] \def\getmaxnote[#1]{\ctxlua{ local n = structures.notes.getn("#1",n) local current = structures.notes.get("#1",n) local cr = current.references local result = cr.realpage -- calculate the width of cr.number and store in maxwidth -- loop through the notes until act.realpage <> cr.realpage -- and for each note calculate the width, compare with maxwidh and store the max -- then set the width to the correct maxwidth -- context.setupnotedefinition({"footnote"}, {width=maxwidth}) } } \appendtoks \getmaxnote[footnote] \to\everybeforenoteinsert \showframe \starttext \dorecurse {100} { test \footnote{test } } \stoptext Now I can not figure out how to get the "real" footnote-number of the note (is there any way?) And does this approach make sense at all? Any hints welcome, i tear my hair for hours now Greetings, Achim

\enabletrackers[structures.notes]
\setupnote[footnote][numbercommand=, way=bypage] \setupnotedefinition[footnote][location=left,distance=1em,hang=4,headalign={flushright},width=1em]
\def\getmaxnote[#1]{\ctxlua{ local n = structures.notes.getn("#1",n) local current = structures.notes.get("#1",n) local cr = current.references local result = cr.realpage

-- context.setupnotedefinition({"footnote"}, {width=maxwidth})
} }
\appendtoks \getmaxnote[footnote] \to\everybeforenoteinsert

Hi again, now i found out how to get the footnote-number: local num = current.numberdata local test = num.numbers local num = tostring(test[1]) but i also found out, that my plan of iterating through the notes was indeed senseless, because at this stage the next footnote is not known. (i should have tested that first). So my new plan is, to calculate the correct width in everybeforenoteinsert, and to compare it with the first one of the page. My question now: is there any possibility to restart the page when i find that i need a greater width? eg to invoke a command \justdoitagainsam?? Sorry that i make so much noise about such a silly footnote-thing, but all my books have many footnotes, and all the notes have to be typesetted like that (not my idea) So without, i could hardly use ConTeXt anyway and that would be sad... Greetings, Achim
something like this \enabletrackers[structures.notes] \setupnotedefinition[footnote][location=left,distance=1em,hang=4,headalign=flushright] \startluacode local n, ranges, pages = 0, { }, { } for k, v in ipairs(structures.lists.collected) do if v.metadata.kind == "description" and v.metadata.name == "footnote" then local realpage = v.references.realpage local number = v.numberdata.numbers[1] local range = ranges[realpage] if not range then range = { min = 0, max = 0 } ranges[realpage] = range end if number < range.min then range.min = number end if number > range.max then range.max = number end pages[number] = range end end function document.dosomething() n = n + 1 local range = pages[n] if range then context.setupnotedefinition( { "footnote" }, { sample = range.max } ) end end \stopluacode \appendtoks \ctxlua{document.dosomething()} \to \everybeforenoteinsert \showframe \starttext \dorecurse {200} {test\footnote{test} } \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Hans, your're a genious, thats so great! Thank you very very much! While testing and adapting the code, there are two questions still: I changed pages[number] = range to local order = v.references.order pages[order] = range and accordingly function document.dosomething() local n = structures.notes.getn("footnote",n) which seems to work, but it would be nice if you could confirm my suggestion that these two values are equal. The other question: As far as I can understand, structures.lists.collected seems to be filled before any typesetting is done yet??? Could you give me some enlightment about that or is it simply the ConTeXt magic? Thank you once again, Greetings Achim Am 06.01.2011 14:49, schrieb Hans Hagen:

depends on the situation i guess one you have it working ok you can wikify this trickery (the lua interface is unlikely to change much)
which seems to work, but it would be nice if you could confirm my suggestion that these two values are equal.
make a bigger test case and you will see differences

often there is somelist.tobesaved and somelist.collected and the second one is loaded pretty early and reflects the previous run so, in a first run that list is empty; also, when you insert a footnote, you will need an extra run but that happens automatically ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
