Hi,

what is the best solution to place the content of annotations before
they are defined in the text? What comes to mind is writing the
content into an external file and read it in the next run. But maybe
I overcomplicate things (usually I do) and there's a simpler
solution. Here's an example:

\usemodule
  [annotation]

\defineannotation
  [myannotation]

\setupannotation
  [myannotation]
  [alternative=myalternative]

\defineannotationalternative
  [myalternative]
  [renderingsetup=annotation:myalternative]

\startsetups [annotation:myalternative]
  Content: \placeannotationcontent
\stopsetups

\starttext

%% The annotation content should be placed here.

\input ward \blank

%% Although it is defined later
\startmyannotation
  \input knuth
\stopmyannotation

\stoptext
