footnotes in poetry

footnotes in poetry

[Hans Hagen]

For Frans, 

If you change in core-not.tex

\def\dostartfootnote%
  {\bgroup
   \ignorelines % makes footnotes work in \startlines ... \stoplines
   \unskip\unskip
   ...

and regenerate the format, 

\startlines
test test
test test\footnote{test
test
test}
test test
\stoplines

will work ok. 

For those who really want footnotes in verbatim:

\def\xx{\footnote{oeps oeps oeps}}

\setuptyping[option=commands]

\starttyping
test test test/xx test
\stoptyping

will do the trick. And yes, there are other obscure ways too. If you change
a few lines in core-ver.tex: 

\def\setupcommandsintype#1%
  {\setupgroupedtype
   \edef\\{\getvalue{#1\c!escape}}%
   \letvalue{\\}=\\% for instance \/=/
   \@EA\catcode\@EA`\\=\@@escape
   \def\BTEX##1\ETEX##2% ##2 gobbles active space
     {\naturaltextext##1\unskip\relax}}

you can say: 

\setuptyping[option=commands]

\starttyping
test//test test/BTEX \footnote{test test test}/ETEX test
test//test test/BTEX \footnote{test test test}/ETEX  test
test test test/BTEX \bf(nota bene)/ETEX test
test test test /BTEX \bf(nota bene)/ETEX  test
\stoptyping

and gets verbatim mixed with normal tex. This feature only works reliable
in etex (pdfetex) mode.
