Goden Dag,
although my primary field of ConTeXt questions is marginal notes, I
use to read the "footnote" threads on NTG-context with curiousness as
well .

Nothing of this and the following code lines I can understand, so it
is not "easy" - albeit that one knows the syntax and meanings of
these commands.
=> Where can I find an explanation of this, not to write this kind of
code myself but to understand off it, which kind of commands I can
use with footnotes (in this case)?
Ulrich Dirr, who had posed the question about his kind of footnotes
asked back 21.07.2008 at 09:09:

I support this question (only that I don't know how to look in the
sorce yet...)
Goutgaun!

P. S.
An OT-question besides: does anyone know an file manager program
instead of the mac Finder, which allows me to find files in the
hidden directories of Mac-OSX in a GUI way instead of unix terminal
commands "cd", "ls" and "find"?
