If ever this link dies, you can navigate by going to

Hope that helps!

superior footnotes

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Dear posse,

1. With footnotes, is there yet a way to define the starting numeral-mark? 
Say, I want my first footnote incremented so that the first notemark is , not 
`1' then `2', but `1234' then `1235', etc.

2. I tried a workaround:

=======================
\defineconversion[set1234][1234]
\setupfootnotes [conversion=set 1234]
=======================

but a spurious numeral `1' gets typeset alongside the notemark. What am I 
missing?

Finally, the ConTeXt footnote mechanism does not (afaik) take into account 
superior numerals. We need a setup option, e.g.

=======================
\setupfootnotes [numeral=superior]%inferior, normal, with 
% normal as default
=======================

to cut off the mechanism for automatically raising and reducing the size of 
the numeral (\high I presume). Yes, there is the empty (text)command=<empty> 
trick, but to use superior numerals all this should not be necessary.

Thnx as always
Idris

Here is an example from my webpage. This example requires that you
type in each footnote manually, and it then converts the it to a
letter:

===

\setupfootnotes[way=bytext, conversion=characters]

% set the number manually
% the next footnote will be *3*
\setnumber[footnote]{2}

The twelve labors of Hercules\footnote{Hercules had to perform 12
near-impossible tasks to become a god} were trifling in comparison
with those which my neighbors have undertaken;

===

However, I think you want just to change where the footnote starts. 

Hans sent me this about 3 weeks ago. I think it works,  though I have
not tested it.


\setupnumber[footnote][start=45]
test \footnote{test} test
