Footnotes in margin?

Footnotes in margin?

[Steffen Wolfrum]

Hi,

does ConTeXt provide a way to place footnote (not margin notes!) per page - but not below the body text?
A suitable place could be the margin. But there is no "\setupfootnotes[location=inmargin]"
and somthing like "\inmargin{\footnote{}The footnote's text.}" doesn't flow.

Does anybody know a working solution?

Thank you,

Steffen Wolfrum

Idris should know since i made him definable footnotes -) 

\showframe

\definenote[mynote][way=bypage,location=text,width=\marginwidth,rule=,before=]

\setuplayout[backspace=5cm,margin=3cm,margindistance=.5cm,width=middle]

\setuptexttexts
  [margin]
  [\vbox to \textheight{\placenotes[mynote]\vfill}]
  []

\starttext

test \mynote{one} test \mynote{two} \page
test \mynote{one} test \mynote{two} \page
test \mynote{one} test \mynote{two} \page
test \mynote{one} test \mynote{two} \page

\stoptext

or a bit more modern (structured, readable, replacable): 

\setuptexttexts
  [margin]
  [\setups{flushmynotes}]
  []

\startsetups flushmynotes

  \vbox to \textheight{\placenotes[mynote]\vfill}

\stopsetups

So, it's up to you to feed this in the wiki -)
