For example, the title of article may have a footnote If these footnotes need not be printed intermixed with other footnotes, please try \starttext \definenote[othernote][conversion=set 2] test\footnote{footnote} test\othernote{othernote} blah\footnote{another footnote} \stoptext Otherwise, please see below. > Related question: can't I just specify a footnote outside the counting > mechanism with any symbol I want at any point in the text, without disturbing > the regular counted footnotes? It seems you can't do this directly, but with a specially defined conversion and the \savecounter[footnote] stuff below, it is certainly doable. > But if I do, e.g., conversion={---}, TeX complains of course.

You must define your conversion first: \starttext \defineconversion[emdash][{---},{---}] \setupfootnotes[conversion=emdash] test\footnote{footnote} \stoptext You need two of the dashes to make ConTeXt realize you want to define a (one-element) set, not some command. > Where are the conversion keys set 2, set 3, etc. documented? I don't know about documentation (right now), but look into core-con.tex. Hans, for me texexec --module `kpsewhich core-con.tex` results in an error, line 42 calls \starttyping, but modules use the Dutsch interface, no? > How can I reset the numbering if I make local changes?

I thought that What about grouping? \starttext test\footnote{othernote} {\setupfootnotes[conversion=set 3] blah\footnote{another footnote}} and more text\footnote{with footnotes}. \stoptext But since this only changes the way the footnote numbers are displayed, there won't be a footnote "2" in the code above. To get this, the best I could find is \starttext test\footnote{othernote} {% grouping \savenumber[footnote]% \setupfootnotes[conversion=set 3]% blah\footnote{another footnote}% \restorenumber[footnote]% } and more text\footnote{with footnotes}. \stoptext By the way: Is there some \save-magic that will automatically restore at the end of the innermost current group, like color does? regards, Christopher Creutzig
