Consider the following example text: \setupfootnotes[n=3] \starttext \strut\vfill % A hack to shorten the page, for Wiki use. This\footnote[footA](Or that\footnote{Or the other.}, if you prefer.} is a sentence with a footnote\footnote{Actually, two footnotes; this one and \in{footnote}[footA] on \at{page}[footA], denoted by \note[footA].}. \stoptext This illustrates the following bugs: 1.) Without the \setupfootnotes line, this leaves a vertical space of about one blank line between the bottom of the text and the footnote separator. With the \setupfootnotes line, we see that this space is proportional to n -- for n=3, it leaves three blank lines. 2.) The columns are ill-spaced in the default case; the footnote markers are closer to the column on their left than they are to the column they belong to. 3.) Footnotes in footnotes do not produce their numbers in the correct order, though they do set the footnotes in the proper order on the bottom of the page. Specifically, the second footnote in the text is (incorrectly) numbered 3 rather than 2, but it is (correctly) placed before the footnote on the footnote. 4.) According to the comments on lines 63-65 of core-not.tex, setting n=0 should set the footnotes in a continuous paragraph, using an algorithm from the TeXbook. This does not work at all; the footnotes are set in a single column but with a smaller interline space. Hans, are any of these readily fixable? - Brooks
