Re: Can \note repeat its footnote?

[Stefan Wachter <stefan.wachter@gmx.de>]

Hi Hans,

thanks for your reply. Unfortunately your solution does not work 
correctly. The following example produces one footnote at the first page 
  but no footnote on the second page.

\starttext

funny\myfootnote[funny]{funny} funny\mynote[funny]
\page
funny\mynote[funny] funny\mynote[funny]

\stoptext

--Stefan

PS: Would it be possible to use the same footnote mark again when a 
footnote is repeated?
