Re: margin notes at page breaks

["Stefan Müller" <warrence.stm@gmx.de>]

Hi Hans,

sorry to bother you again with this.  I just had a look again on this 
issue with 20111112 12:34 MkIV.  In the first part of your example, I 
see the three stacked footnotes and the first lines of the paragraph 
moved to the next page.  In your second example I get the three notes 
stacked on the first page, one being in the bottom margin, and the 
paragraph properly wrapped, with two lines on the first page.  This 
seems to be correct.

Unfortunately I don't understand how this should help me with my (now 
updated) previous example:

\starttext
\dorecurse{4}{\input knuth} \blank[2*line]

\inmargin[stack=yes]{This note ends up in the bottom margin}
\input tufte
\stoptext

It still looks the same.  Does the stacking only influence the behaviour 
of (the breaking between) multiple margin notes?

Thank you for looking into this.  Best regards,
Stefan
