Moreover, marginnotes are built in in standard ConTeXt as well as LaTeX. You probably haven't noticed yet that there can be classes of marginal notes, which can be positioned at different places in the margin. This means for instance that you can have marginal notes side to side. typesetting is (sorry Hans, but at that time, my opinion was that LaTeX is standard in >Miktex whereas ConTeXt is not. Installing TeX is difficult for I'm not sure if context is in miktex yet.

I'll give it a lower priority -) Anyhow, implementing multiple layers of footnotes is not that hard: a definition macro and a few commalists handlers for popping and placing them. And, since everything in context is multiple and installable, it could even make sense (at least the multiple endnotes). As I already mentioned, paragraph footnotes are the hardest thing to achieve. I have something running, but I'm still sorting out the best way (han the thanh needs them for an old czech bible replica), especially combined with grid snapping columns. I just found myself another hack, so I'm nearing a solution for that problem. And, I also have to implement pop up footnotes some day, but nobody asked for them yet -) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
