Footnote numbering

Footnote numbering

[cohsb]

Hi,

is there a possibility to restart the numbering of footnotes? (i.e. i, ii,
iii,... in the front matter, and then 1,2,3... in the body). I could switch to
the roman numerals quite easily but I could not manage to let the new
numbering start at 1. I also tried to use parts for that, which just led to funny
page numbers but did not have any influence on the footnote numbering at all.

Perhaps somebody knows a simple solution?

Many thanks and cheers, Chris.

Since it is stated in the manual to look at core-not.tex, I did so
and found the command \resetnummer[...]. I have no idea if this is ok
to use (but I guess it is not, since Hans always comes up with a
better solution ;->) but here is the simple hack anyway:

\setupfootnotes[conversion=romannumerals]
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
Some text\footnote{interesting}.
\stopfrontmatter 
\resetnummer[footnote]
\setupfootnotes[conversion=numbers]
\startbodymatter
Some text\footnote{interesting}.
\stopbodymatter 
\startbackmatter
Some text\footnote{interesting}.
\stopbackmatter
\stoptext

Then give this a try:

\setupfootnotes[conversion=romannumerals,way=bypart]
\starttext
\part {one}
Some text\footnote{interesting}.
\part {two}
\setupfootnotes[conversion=numbers]
Some text\footnote{interesting}.
\part {three}
Some text\footnote{interesting}.
\stoptext

i still have to interface the number macros

\ifx\resetnumber\undefined \let\resetnumber\resetnummer \fi

\resetnumber[footnote]

Hi Peter,

I'm currently not at home. I'll be back next week and then I'll try to
figure out what happens.

Regards,

David

Hi David,
have you already found something?

Re: t-rsteps and starttyping

Hi Peter,

I am very sorry, I had completely forgotten about that issue. It boils
down to the following:

\long\def\StartLong#1\StopLong{#1}

\starttext
\StartLong
\starttyping
hallo
\stoptyping
\StopLong
\stoptext

This will produce no error, but no output as well. Maybe we could use
some alternate mechanism to define the \StartLong...\StopLong pair.
However, this is beyond my knowledge. Hans?

Regards,

David

\def\StartLong{}
\def\StopLong{}

 Or, if you insist on having the argument,

\long\def\StartLong#1\StopLong{\scantokens{#1}}

should work.

I do need the argument. Its use is repeated in the real macro.

This produces no output as well. texexec says:
No pages of output.

Thanks anyway.

footnote numbering

[Albrecht Kauffmann]

Hi all,

can someone tell me, how to set the counter of footnotes (e.g., one back,
or to zero)?

With many thanks

Play with this:

==============================================
% output=pdf interface=en

\starttext

  Test.\footnote{Test}

  Test.\footnote{Test}

  \resetnumber[footnote]

  Test.\footnote{Test}

  Test.\footnote{Test}

  \incrementnumber[footnote]

  Test.\footnote{Test}

  Test.\footnote{Test}

  \decrementnumber[footnote]
  \decrementnumber[footnote]
  \decrementnumber[footnote]

  Test.\footnote{Test}

  Test.\footnote{Test}

\stoptext
==============================================

Hans, can one add an option like 
\decrementnumber[2][footnote]
to subract 2 instead of declaring the command three times?

Best
Idris

footnote numbering

[Horacio Suarez]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 548 bytes --]

hello

I insist in a question:

I have:

\setupfootnotes[way=bychapter]

but it doesn´t restart the footnote numbering at chapter.

But if I write:

\setupfootnotes[way=bysection]

It does restart each \section.

Is the sintax ok?

What i´m doing wrong?

The last book i´ve fix it inseriting fake and empty chapters, but now it 
doesn´t work.

Please help!
