vertically aligned side margin footnotes
Hi again, is there a way to typeset footnotes in the margin, but placed at the same vertical distance as the text they refer to? Thanks, Alex

No, but you can combine \inmargin and a counter: \usemodule[annotation] \define[2]\SidenoteCommand {\rawnumber[sidenote]% \inright{#1: #2}} \defineannotation [sidenote] [alternative=command, command=\SidenoteCommand, number=yes] \starttext text text\sidenote{this is a note} text text \input knuth text text\sidenote{this is a note} text text \stoptext Wolfgang
Hi and thanks for your help. it works except that when the sidenote is too long it overflows the page. Is there a way to make the note continuing on the next page if it doesn't fit? Thanks again, Alex On 06/09/2011 22:27, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

No, but you can combine \inmargin and a counter:
\usemodule[annotation]
\define[2]\SidenoteCommand {\rawnumber[sidenote]% \inright{#1: #2}}
\defineannotation [sidenote] [alternative=command, command=\SidenoteCommand, number=yes]
\starttext
text text\sidenote{this is a note} text text
\input knuth
text text\sidenote{this is a note} text text
\stoptext

No, margin texts are unbreakable blocks. When you many side notes with lots of text it’s better to use a layout with a wider margin and a narrower textblock, before you do this you can try “\inmargin[stack=yes]{…}” in the definition of the side note command. Wolfgang
Hello Wolfgang, Thanks for your reply. I will adjust my text flow "manually" if necessary as I only have a couple of pages to deal with. While I was searching for an answer in the mailing list archive I found this email: [NTG-context] Flowfram-like behavior? http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20110706.133155.c488c215.en.html I think such a feature would have been great here, and I was wondering if there was any plan for this in the future?

There is an experimental stream feature but I haven't looked into that one for a while.
