Re: still struggling with footnotes

[Achim Jander <achim@jander.de>]

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
