[NTG-context] How can I force ConTeXt to display my footnote on the same page as my foot note marker?

[ai2472206007]

Hi,

I have a document that contains a lot of footnotes. 
Therefore, I used to separate the footnote number from the footnote text, 
which would make the source file look more readable.

Therefore, I used a similar approach to 'CASE 1', but not 'CASE 2' , 
placing footnotes related to the previous paragraphs every few paragraphs. 
But when I was generating a PDF,
 I found that the footnote didn't always appear on the same page as its footnote number, 
even though the footnote had very little text.

What can I do to get my idea to work?

Thanks for any suggestions.

                                                     Muyik.

Hi Muyik,

how about two files?

The first one with footnote texts only (as buffers):

  \startbuffer[fn-1]
    \input knuth
  \stopbuffer

  \startbuffer[fn-2]
    \input zapf
  \stopbuffer

Your sample file may read:

  \setuppapersize[A6]
  \input footnotes.tex
  \protected\def\bufffn[#1]%
    {\footnote{\getbuffer[#1]}}
  \starttext

  \input knuthmath \bufffn[fn-1]
  \input knuthmath \bufffn[fn-2]
  \input knuthmath
  \input knuthmath
  \stoptext

It is simple code, but it may give you an idea to start playing with.

Just in case it helps,

Pablo

footnotes are implemented using inserts so the text, when entered is 
kept with the 'location' .. this permits the page builders to choose 
breakpoints that

decoupling the location and test itself should be done in a controlled 
way because otherwise a page break can already have been decided

\starttext

\startbuffer[note:1]
     \input{knuthmath}
\stopbuffer
\startbuffer[note:2]
     \input{knuth}
\stopbuffer

\input knuthmath \footnote{\inlinebuffer[note:1]}
\input knuthmath \footnote{\inlinebuffer[note:2]}
\input knuthmath
\input knuthmath

\stoptext
