formatting \note output

formatting \note output

[Alan Bowen]

Though I have asked this question before and there was no response, I  
thought I would ask the following once more (before going through my  
source files and making the changes by hand).

Does anyone know how to modify or adapt \note so that the output is a  
footnote number in normal/body text format---e.g., “(ref.\ \note 
[lemur])” becomes “(ref.\ 9)”---rather than a superscripted numeral?

Thanks for any help.

Alan

\starttext
footnote\footnote[lemur]{test}
has number \in[lemur]
\stoptext

As I noted on the Wiki's footnotes page when I discovered this, \note is 
basically equivalent to the standard \in function for accessing references, 
except that it typesets the result as a superscript.

Thus, you can use \in rather than \note to reference a footnote number in 
normal format -- e.g., "(ref.\ \in[lemur])", for your example, though using 
"(\in{ref.}[lemur])" will do a better job with any hyperlinks, since the 
word "ref." will be included in the hyperlink.  And, if for some bizarre 
reason you want to reference a section number by setting it as a 
superscript, you can use \note instead of \in for that.

Brooks and Christopher—

Many thanks for your help! \in is just what I wanted, and \in{ref.} 
[lemur] works perfectly.

All best, Alan
