columnsets and footnotes (minimal example)
... and here is an example that shows the problem: \definecolumnset[example][n=2] \setupfootnotes[n=3] \starttext \startcolumnset[example] \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte\footnote{\input ward \relax}} \stopcolumnset \stoptext
Hi,
is there a way to have both:
a main text set in \definecolumnset[example][n=2] and footnotes on bottom of page with \setupfootnotes[n=3]?
Thank you,
Steffen

Oops, that doesn't look right at all. Do you really need column sets, or is "normal" columns mode ok as well? \startcolumns[n=2] \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte\footnote{\input ward \relax}} \stopcolumns Looks about right. Cheers, Taco
But what can I do in order to have the main text in two columns (columnset) and the smaller footnotes in three columns (as it would be perfect for bigger document sizes)? Steffen Am 09.01.2006 um 12:29 schrieb Hans Hagen:

you need to set widths
\setupfootnotes[n=1,width=\hsize]

The following test file gives a good result with old ConteXt but gives an error with new ConteXt It seems that new ConteXt does not accept [center] What is the problem ?

It works fine here. Please post the output of texexec --version (i suspect something went wrong during your upgrade.) Cheers, Taco

grep dorechecknextindentation *.tex cont-new.tex: \dorechecknextindentation} core-des.tex: \dorechecknextindentation} core-itm.tex: \dorechecknextindentation} core-mat.tex: \dorechecknextindentation} % here ? core-spa.tex:\def\dorechecknextindentation core-ver.tex: \dorechecknextindentation} page-one.tex: \dorechecknextindentation}
its' really defined in core-spa.tex, so, it looks like you use a new cont-new.tex with an old format; did you remake the formats? (if you run a very old context you may need to remove the (e)fmt files manually first) Hans

1) Yes, column sets would be better.
\startcolumns[n=2] \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte\footnote{\input ward \relax}} \stopcolumns
Looks about right.
Cheers, Taco
2) When I try ... \setupfootnotes[n=3] \starttext \startcolumns[n=2] \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte\footnote{\input ward \relax}} \stopcolumns \stoptext at the bottom of page 1 there is a lot of white space before the footnote text of footnote 1-4 (the footnotemarkers 1 to 4 come up the next page). So in this example it doesn't seem to be possible to keep footnote markers and text at the same page: Wouldn't it be better in this case to fill page 1 also with the footnote text of the following footnotes? In this way the pages would look much better. Is there a way (penalty?) to express how *urgent* footnote markers and text need to be forced to the same page? Or - in other words - to loosen the connection? Thanks, Steffen
