Well, marks are strange in themselves, but I guess you're right in some way. The main problem is however that the dimensions of footnotes are taken into account by determining the pagebreaks. etex supports multiple marks, but context has this already sort of build in (adapted maro based mechanism from Jim Fox). Context uses marks for color, running whatevers, two pass optimization, multi column grid snapping etc. Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | mail: pragma@wxs.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
