how to change the colour of the footnote marker
Today I wanted to print an entire document not in standard black, but in blue. I added (Mk II) – \setupcolors [state=start] \define\kleur{blue} % so I can change the colour uniformly everywhere through this variable \startcolor [\kleur] \setupnote[footnote][before={\color[\kleur]}] \setupfooter [color=\kleur] – and everything becomes blue, but NOT the footnote number before the footnote itself at the bottom of the page (the marker in the main text is coloured the way I want). Can anyone tell me how to change the colour of the footnote number in the note? Robert
Hi Robert, I don't understand if you need solution for MkII, or if you tried something from MkII. For MkIV you can use this: \def\mycmd#1{\startcolor[\kleur]#1\stopcolor} \setupnotation[footnote][numbercommand=\mycmd] (But I don't know whether it will work witk MkII.)

Thank you for the proffered help – but I found a very similar snippet of code in a message to this list from 2015 and tried it. Mk II does not have \setupnotation[footnote] yet, and when I 'translated' it to \setupfootnotes (which ordinarily ought to work in Mk II), it unfortunately did not work. (I need to use Mk II because I need the functionality of XeTeX.) However, Wolfgang gave the solution! I do not know why that is the solution :-), but it works.

1. \setupnotation is the new command name for \setupnotedefinition 2. Which language do you use in your document? Wolfgang

Kannada. This is one of the world's larger languages, belonging to the Dravidian language family, spoken in the southern Indian state of Karnataka (its capital city Bangalore / Bengaluru is known outside India mainly as the centre of India's IT industry). I am about to finish writing the first comprehensive modern teaching manual of the language for non-Indian learners, and this is the kind of book that one can hardly leave to typesetters. First I was thinking of producing the ready-to-print PDF in XeLaTeX, but… oh, well, we're among ourselves here, so I think I need not go into the details of why I prefer to do it in ConTeXt. :-) Robert -- Prof. Dr. Robert J.

just curious: what do you mis in mkiv / luatex

Support for Indic scripts / fonts. (I think we had a little bit of correspondence on this mailing list three or four years ago about this, and we were not able to convert and use the TrueType fonts I required.) Robert

It works! Thank you for the solution. One thing that puzzles me, however, is that you (Wolfgang) are able to produce solutions using (so it seems) undocumented commands and parameters. How did you hit upon the idea to use 'rulecolor' here? I rely on the ConTeXt manual (2013 version), and there is nothing there to suggest that 'rulecolor' determines the colour of the text of footnotes. Neither did the Wiki help me. Is there some hidden documentation I do not know about? Robert

Is there some hidden documentation I do not know about? You can look them up in the command reference which exists since a very long time (the current version is MkIV/LuaTeX only):
