Hello!

It maybe a stupid qestion, but it is a problem I am facing now:

I try to typeset a thesis, and I need endnotes (kind of bibliography) at the end of eatch section (or chapter when using parts). How can I do this?

In the book I am working on, I would like to have substantial endnotes,
perhaps 10 to 20 pages of them.  The design I have in mind is to collect
all the endnotes in an appendix (actually an unnumbered backmatter chapter).
It should have separate sections called "Notes for Chapter 1", "Notes for
Chapter 2", or similar.  The note number should reset for each chapter,
and in the endnotes the note number should appear full-size rather than
in a small font.  Finally, for the interactive version of the book, the
endnotes should be coupled to their references in the text.

I can see how to get some of these features in ConTeXt, but not all.
Using \setupfootnotes[location=text,way=bychapter] and \placefootnotes,
I can get all the notes to appear together, but I don't know how to break
them up by chapter or reformat the number (\setupfootnotedefinition
[headstyle=...] wasn't helping?).  Moreover, it looks like the macros want
to collect them up in a giant \vbox, which might not scale too well.

Alternatively, the text block mechanism seems almost tailor-made for
this situation, except for one thing: I would like to couple the note,
which is naturally an enumeration, with the tiny little raised note number
in the text, which does not seem to be naturally an enumeration or
description (because it's in horizontal mode rather than vertical).
Maybe the coupling mechanism is general enough to do this; I don't know.

It wouldn't be overly hard (I hope) to do the coupling myself using ConTeXt's
reference commands, but I wonder if there is a better way.

This is how I would do it. Not sure if this is the best way. Use 
tokens to keep track of the current information that should go to the 
layer, and repeat the layer on each page.

\newtoks\testtoks

\definelayer[test]
             [ width=\paperwidth,
              height=\paperheight,
             ]

\startsetups make:test
\setlayer[test][x=5cm,y=3cm]{\framed[align=normal,width=5cm]{\the\testtoks}}
\stopsetups

\setupbackgrounds[page][setups=make:test,background=test]

\starttext

\testtoks{This is a test}

Let's see

\page

Now add something to the layer

\input knuth

\appendtoks \endgraf \input tufte \to \testtoks

\page

Let's start all over again

\testtoks {Testing again}

\stoptext


HTH,
Aditya

hello:

I have a problem with endnotes.

I use \placefootnotes at the end of each chapter.

When the last page of a chapter is almost empty, the footnotes are placed at 
the same page, but when the las page of a chapter is almost full, the notes 
jumps to a new page.

Also, I have a \stopcolumns before the notes.

How can I force the notes to keep in the same page?

Thankyou.
