Comma separating multiple footnotes
Hey list, Is there any means of setting up footnotes such that whenever they are tangential, they are automatically separated by a comma delimiter? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

No there isn’t but it’s not hard hard to add a separator because it’s already possible to change the distance between the numbers. BTW: It’s always helpful to provide a minimal example. \starttext Text\footnote{One}\footnote{Two}\footnote{Three} \stoptext Wolfgang

No there isnt but its not hard hard to add a separator because its already possible to change the distance between the numbers.
Would that be done with \setupnotation or maybe \setupfootnotes? Either way, I'm not sure how to do this. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

I wrote a patch for the footnote code where you can set a symbol between the numbers with \setupnote[footnote][textseparator=…] but it’s decision to include it. \unprotect \unexpanded\def\strc_notes_inject_symbol {\removeunwantedspaces \doifitalicelse\/\donothing % Charles IV \footnote{the fourth} \ifdim\lastkern=\notesignal % \kern\noteparameter\c!distance % yes or no note font? or main text \strc_notes_inject_separator \fi \nobreak \begingroup \currentconstructionsynchronize % this flushes the data to the list \strc_notes_register_note_page % this registers the symbol page number (late) \strc_notes_interaction_check_inline \strc_notes_set_style_color_inline\c!textstyle\c!textcolor \hbox \strc_notes_get_reference_attribute_symbol \bgroup \dostarttagged\t!descriptionsymbol\currentnote \dotagsetnotesymbol \noteparameter\c!textcommand{\ctxcommand{noteprefixednumber("\currentnote",\currentnotenumber)}}% % the next one can cycle so we need to make sure it has no advance width \doif{\noteparameter\c!indicator}\v!yes\strc_notes_inject_pointer \dostoptagged \egroup \endgroup \dostoptagged % check \globallet\lastnotesymbol\relax} \unexpanded\def\strc_notes_inject_dummy % temp hack {\removeunwantedspaces \doifitalicelse\/\donothing % Charles IV \footnote{the fourth} \ifdim\lastkern=\notesignal % \kern\noteparameter\c!distance % yes or no note font? or main text \strc_notes_inject_separator \fi \nobreak \hbox to .5em{}% \globallet\lastnotesymbol\relax} \def\strc_notes_inject_separator {\edef\p_textseparator{\noteparameter\c!textseparator}% \ifx \p_textseparator \empty \kern\noteparameter\c!distance \else \nobreak\hbox\bgroup \strc_notes_interaction_check_inline \strc_notes_set_style_color_inline\c!textstyle\c!textcolor \noteparameter\c!textcommand{\p_textseparator}% \kern\noteparameter\c!distance \egroup\nobreak \fi} \protect \setupnote [footnote] [ textseparator={,}, textstyle=italic, textcolor=red, distance=.5em, ] \starttext Text\footnote{One}\footnote{Two}\footnote{Three} \stoptext Wolfgang

Hey Wolfgang. It looks great. I'm assuming I'd stick the following in my environment file: \setupnote[footnote][textseparator={,}] Also, should it have been \setupnote or \setupnotation?
but it’s decision to include it.
I suppose I could use it for now with the expectation that it will neither do nor break anything, but that when it is included in the official distribution, it will work? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

You need \setupnote because the other setting for the number in the text re also set with \setupnote. Wolfgang

So this should suffice then in the environment? % Implemented by Hans in bleeding edge ConTeXt... \setupnote[footnote] [textseparator={\textcomma}] -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Don’t use \textcomma in MkIV, it’s a math symbol and doesn’t scale when you change the relative font size. \starttext a, b\textcomma\ c {\tfxx a, b\textcomma\ c} {\tfb a, b\textcomma\ c} \stoptext @Hans/Aditya: Is it a good idea to put “textcomma” in the mathspec entry (char-def.lua): { adobename="comma", category="po", cjkwd="na", description="COMMA", direction="cs", linebreak="is", mathclass="punctuation", mathspec={ { class="punctuation", name="textcomma", }, { class="ord", name="mathcomma", }, }, unicodeslot=0x002C, }, Wolfgang

@Hans/Aditya: Is it a good idea to put “textcomma” in the mathspec entry (char-def.lua):
What is textcomma supposed to do? I see that it is defined and used in core-mis.mkiv and then redefined in char-def. My guess is that \textcomma and \textperiod were defined to be complementary to \mathcomma and \mathperiod, but this is not consistent with rest of the naming convention. (\text... begin text mode commands for symbols, and not math mode commands). Does anyone use \textcomma and \textperiod in math mode? I would suggest that we rename them to \puncuationcomma and \punctuationperiod, and add \textcomma and \textperiod as text mode commands (and remove the definition of \textcomma from core-mis) Aditya

the \text* should be just . and , (no math) I have no clue about the math usage. Just tell me what to patch.

Is there a reason the make them into math commands, I think it’s better the define them as “contextname=…” to let them behave as in MkII where \textcomma is defined as enco-def.mkii:\definecharacter textcomma , enco-def.mkii:\definecharacter textperiod . Wolfgang

I don't think that these are needed in math. We can simply delete lines 443-445 from char-def: { class="punctuation", name="textperiod", }, and add contextname="textperiod", The case with , (comma) is more tricky. Normally, in plain TeX comma is defined as punctuation. But since comma is used as a separator in Europe, ConTeXt deos something smart based on the setting of autopunction. I don't completely understand how that works. If autopunction is ignored, then we simply need to map , to punctuation. I think that the definition of "mathcomma" can also be deleted. Thus, we can simply delete lines 408 onwards: mathspec={ { class="punctuation", name="textcomma", }, { class="ord", name="mathcomma", }, }, Full patch: @@ -404,17 +404,8 @@ description="COMMA", direction="cs", linebreak="is", + contextname="textcomma", mathclass="punctuation", - mathspec={ - { - class="punctuation", - name="textcomma", - }, - { - class="ord", - name="mathcomma", - }, - }, unicodeslot=0x002C, }, { @@ -434,6 +425,7 @@ description="FULL STOP", direction="cs", linebreak="is", + contextname="textperiod", mathclass="ord", mathspec={ { @@ -442,10 +434,6 @@ }, { class="punctuation", - name="textperiod", - }, - { - class="punctuation", name="ldotp", }, }, Aditya

lua magic (Later this year I want to follow up on domain specific rendering, so that one can switch to (say) 'logic' and get spacing suitable for that. Not too hard to do as long as we have char-def up-to-date.)
