footnote reference mark font switch

footnote reference mark font switch

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Dear cartel,

I need to switch to a different font for the footnote reference markers. First 
attempt failed:

=======================
% output=pdf interface=en
\setupfootnotes[before=\ss,after=\sc]

\starttext

This is a test.\footnote{This is a test}

\stoptext
=======================

The idea is to print the reference marker, in this case `1', in a different 
font from both the main text and from the footnote text. That is, 
\setupfootnotes should let me transparently distinguish between

1. main text font;
2. reference marker font
3. footnote text font.

Please advise, and I have a nice trick to show you once this is done:-)

Best
Idris

How about this?

\setupfootnotes[style=\ss,textcommand=,command=,textstyle=smallcapped]

Your setup compiled but did not work, even after bracketing the commands. 
I still get no font changes:

==============================================
% output=pdf interface=en

%\setupfootnotes[before=\ss,after=\sc]
\setupfootnotes[{style=\ss},{textstyle=\sc}]

\starttext

This is a test.\footnote{This is a test}

\stoptext
==============================================

Caveat: My up-to-date (well, before the latest beta) is at home and I'm at 
work with an older ConTeXt. OTOH but this is not a new feature so should 
work...

Thnx
Idris

Don't bracket them, and the blank command parameters also play a role (to
over-ride the \high command, in case you have superior figures, for example).

Also, keep in mind that the particular font switches you chose are not
very visible in LMR with a single '1' character. Try:

\setupfootnotes[style=italic,textcommand=,command=,textstyle=boldslanted]

Au contraire, Hans gave footnote styles a big overhaul last summer, iirc.

Dear Hans: (unless I'm missing something) is it possible to get an option

\setupfootnotes[{markstyle=\switchtobodyfont[myfont]}]

where the size defaults to the normal footnote mark size?

Hi Adam and all...

Ok, now we're getting somewhere...

The setup you presented was overkill-) but very instructive:

1.

\setupfootnotes[style=italic,textcommand=,command=,textstyle=boldslanted]

i. This changes the footnote marker in the main text (marker1), but also makes 
it a regular numeral aligned with the pre-footnote text.

b. The footnote marker in the note (marker2) also becomes aligned with the 
text of the note.

c. Marker1 is boldit and marker2 is italic.

d. Running text is normal;

2.

\setupfootnotes[style=italic,command=,textstyle=boldslanted]

Marker1 is now super, marker2 is text-aligned, marker1 is boldit and marker2 
is italic.

3.

\setupfootnotes[command=,textstyle=boldslanted]

Marker1 is super, marker2 is text-aligned, marker1 is bold, and marker 2 is 
normal;

4. 
\setupfootnotes[textstyle=boldslanted]

Marker1 is super, marker2 is super, marker1 is bold, marker2 is normal;

5.

\setupfootnotes[style=italic,textstyle=boldslanted]

Both markers are super, marker2 is italic and marker1 is boldit.
========

This last is the one I was looking for.

\setupfootnotes[style=\it,textstyle=\bs]

also works. This is interesting, because I thought that all options involving 
control sequences had to be surrounded by curly brackets. With curly brackets 
it does not work.

Thank you for your help! And that trick is forthcoming...
