Re: footnotes

[Achim Jander <achim@jander.de>]

Hi again,
it seems that i found the solution for problem 3:
\setupnote 
[footnote][paragraph=yes,numbercommand=,inbetween=\hskip.5em\vl\hskip.5em]

\setupdescriptions[footnote][display=no,location=serried,distance=.5em]

at least the first tests seem to work like a charm...


Greetings,
Achim
