Hi all,
I am still trying to get the footnote numbers aligned in a special way:
flushright, but the width depends on the width of the max
footnote-number on page,
so to get
1
2
and
~9
10
After reading the manuals and the source given in strc-not.lua thats how
far i am at the moment:
\enabletrackers[structures.notes]
\setupnote[footnote][numbercommand=, way=bypage]
\setupnotedefinition[footnote][location=left,distance=1em,hang=4,headalign={flushright},width=1em]
\def\getmaxnote[#1]{\ctxlua{
local n = structures.notes.getn("#1",n)
local current = structures.notes.get("#1",n)
local cr = current.references
local result = cr.realpage
-- calculate the width of cr.number and store in maxwidth
-- loop through the notes until act.realpage <> cr.realpage
-- and for each note calculate the width, compare with maxwidh and store
the max
-- then set the width to the correct maxwidth
-- context.setupnotedefinition({"footnote"}, {width=maxwidth})
}
}
\appendtoks
\getmaxnote[footnote]
\to\everybeforenoteinsert
\showframe
\starttext
\dorecurse {100} {
test \footnote{test }
}
\stoptext
Now I can not figure out how to get the "real" footnote-number of the
note (is there any way?) And does this approach make sense at all?
Any hints welcome, i tear my hair for hours now
Greetings,
Achim

Hi again,
now i found out how to get the footnote-number:
local num = current.numberdata
local test = num.numbers
local num = tostring(test[1])
but i also found out, that my plan of iterating through the notes was
indeed senseless, because at this stage the next footnote is not known.
(i should have tested that first).
So my new plan is, to calculate the correct width in
everybeforenoteinsert, and to compare it with the first one of the page.
My question now: is there any possibility to restart the page when i
find that i need a greater width?
eg to invoke a command \justdoitagainsam??
Sorry that i make so much noise about such a silly footnote-thing, but
all my books have many footnotes, and all the notes have to be
typesetted like that (not my idea)
So without, i could hardly use ConTeXt anyway and that would be sad...
Greetings,
Achim

something like this
\enabletrackers[structures.notes]
\setupnotedefinition[footnote][location=left,distance=1em,hang=4,headalign=flushright]
\startluacode
local n, ranges, pages = 0, { }, { }
for k, v in ipairs(structures.lists.collected) do
if v.metadata.kind == "description" and v.metadata.name ==
"footnote" then
local realpage = v.references.realpage
local number = v.numberdata.numbers[1]
local range = ranges[realpage]
if not range then
range = { min = 0, max = 0 }
ranges[realpage] = range
end
if number < range.min then
range.min = number
end
if number > range.max then
range.max = number
end
pages[number] = range
end
end
function document.dosomething()
n = n + 1
local range = pages[n]
if range then
context.setupnotedefinition(
{ "footnote" },
{ sample = range.max }
)
end
end
\stopluacode
\appendtoks
\ctxlua{document.dosomething()}
\to \everybeforenoteinsert
\showframe
\starttext
\dorecurse {200} {test\footnote{test} }
\stoptext

Hi Hans,
your're a genious, thats so great! Thank you very very much!
While testing and adapting the code, there are two questions still:
I changed
pages[number] = range
to
local order = v.references.order
pages[order] = range
and accordingly
function document.dosomething()
local n = structures.notes.getn("footnote",n)
which seems to work, but it would be nice if you could confirm my
suggestion that these two values are equal.
The other question:
As far as I can understand, structures.lists.collected seems to be
filled before any typesetting is done yet???
Could you give me some enlightment about that or is it simply the
ConTeXt magic?
Thank you once again,
Greetings
Achim

depends on the situation i guess
one you have it working ok you can wikify this trickery (the lua
interface is unlikely to change much)

make a bigger test case and you will see differences

often there is somelist.tobesaved and somelist.collected and the second
one is loaded pretty early and reflects the previous run
so, in a first run that list is empty; also, when you insert a footnote,
you will need an extra run but that happens automatically
