RE: footnote text formatting

[Idris Samawi Hamid <ishamid@lamar.colostate.edu>]

Hi Thomas,

Thnx so much for your help! After playing with your hack I found a simpler 
solution-)

\setupnote[endnote][location=none,margindistance=0em]
\def\MyEndnote#1{\endnote{\hskip1.2em #1}}

There should be ConTeXt options that do this sort of thing, along the line of 
\setupitemize, which has e.g., an [atmargin] key.

Thnx once again!!

Best
Idris
