footnote formatting

footnote formatting

[Han The Thanh]

Hi all,

how can I set the value of \emergencystretch when formatting footnotes? 
I have the following setup:

\setupfootnotes[
    n=2,
    columndistance=1cm,
    style=\footnotefont,
    way=bysection]

\def\footnotefont{\switchtobodyfont[lexicon2b]\emergencystretch=2em}

but it doesn't seem to work; \emergencystretch is always set to 0pt.

Thanks,
Thanh

Footnote Formatting

I am new to ConTeXt and have two questions about footnote formatting.
I have noticed that there is always a space between the footnote number and the actual text of the footnote. My first question is: How can I eliminate this space or at the very least replace the space with a non-breaking space. On my system, the footnote numbers sometimes appear at the end of a line while the footnote text wraps around to the next line.
Also, I am formatting my footnotes with \setupfootnotes[n=0,...] so that they appear at the bottom of the page in paragraph form (i.e., not one footnote per line). Due to a section change in the document, I may restart footnote numbering at "1" in the middle of a page. When this happens, I would like to indent footnote #1 just like you would indent a paragraph. My second question is: Can this be done?
Any help offered will be greatly appreciated!
