I guess \setupfootnotedefinition isn't what I am looking for. It seems to mainly be a way to customize the footnote *numbering*, right? What I wanted to try was to put footnotes in the margin. My text has a lot of footnotes, and a few of them are absurdly long (no, I didn't write the book); the conventional layout results at several points in truly abominable pages, so I thought I'd try something unconventional. Guess I'll have to do it some other way. -- Matt Gushee : Bantam - lightweight file manager : matt.gushee.net/software/bantam/ : : RASCL's A Simple Configuration Language : matt.gushee.net/rascl/ : ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
