Position of standard footnotes that are set-up in floats
Hello together, I have the following example: I place a simple float (a graphic) in the text within \startplacefigure...\stopplacefigure and create a footnote with the graphic's source, that I want to be placed as simple footnote at the bottom of the page. CTX, LuaTX do this just fine. But when the float is being set on the next page, due to spacing, then the footnote remains on the initial page, i.e. the footnote stays on page 1, whereas the float with its description text and the footnote marker are set on page 2. Is it possible to make the footnote's location depend on the location of the float, rather than where the last text passage was before the float? An example: \startplacefigure[title={Heijunkabox \footnote{source: https://commons.wikimedia.org/Box.svg}}, reference=gfxHeijunka, location=] \externalfigure... \stopplacefigure Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Sebastian.

Are you sure from a stylistic point-of-view that you want a figure caption (or figure label) refer to a footnote? Although there can be different schools of thought on the editorial style of figures and figure captions, I would find it confusing for a floating object to use a non-local footnote. My suggestion (as a sometimes editor) would be to find another solution in this case, not that I am trying to let ConTeXt off the hook... Alan

Yes, I like the mechanism, as it does what it is supposed to do, until due to spacing the float gets an unexpected positioning while carrying a reference.

I fully understand. Thank you Hans.

Sure, I can also place a source in the appendice, but why not have the opportunity to do both, since basically it works? I think from the stylistic point of view I don't expect to turn back a page when looking for a foot note. Since many experienced users have workarounds for many situations, I hoped to find one here. Hans' reply was satisfactory to me too. :D Greetings, Sebastian
