Footnote Failure

Footnote Failure

[John Haltiwanger]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1039 bytes --]

I'm having trouble understanding why the attached file fails with:

structure       : subject @ level 3 : 0.0.0 -> Information
! Undefined control sequence.
\dododescriptioncomponent ...entdescriptioncoding
                                                  \s!tex \fi \ifx \currentde...
\@@notemakedescription ...list =,\c!bookmark =,][]
                                                  \xdef \currentnotenumber {...
l.79 ...r in light of Pasquinelli's presentation.}

If I replace \footnote{} with parantheses, the included source compiles fine.

I've had a separate issue where a URL containing %'s seems to gum up
the system (that is, when I pared down the source to isolate the above
peculiarity I removed the URLs with %s and the other error, which
would stop compilation itself if the parantheses had solved the above
issue, disappeared.) Is pandoc producing the proper, or preferred,
\useURL syntax? I'm assuming pandoc aims for mkII over mkIV, but I
thought I read that the interface had not changed.

Sincerely,
John Haltiwanger

i'll fix it ... has to do with unwanted expansion in footnotes

btw, why not put the url defs somplace in your preamble, that way you 
have one spot to maintain them

\setupinteraction[state=start]

\starttext

\useURL[git:2][http://...][][Git Virtue]

\footnote{The views ... \from[git:2] ....}

\stoptext

And this one aspect of ConTeXt I can't get comfortable with, \useURL is
great and every thing, but it is overkill for my simple url use; I just
need a very simple, one call command, some thing like
\URL[http://...]{foo}.

Another good idea, though I seem to remember Hans shooting this down before..

Ah, cool, never know that ConTeXt has such feature!
