Reference + footnote = bug

Reference + footnote = bug

[Giuseppe Bilotta]

... and a rather odd bug, too!

\setupinteraction[state=start]

\starttext
Some text \goto{text with footnote\footnote{here it is} showing
the bug}[hook]
\page[yes]
Some text \reference[hook] referenced from before.
\stoptext

See how the word "footnote" is superscripted ... it's an odd bug
indeed, and it almost seems the footnote can detect the previous
word ...

Also it seems that instead of
\reference[hook] referenced...
one has to put
\reference[hook]{} referenced...
                ^^^^
since otherwise in the resulting typeset "referenced..." becomes 
"eferenced...".
Is this the normal use of the command "\reference[xxx]" ?

this has to do with the text passed to goto being submitted to quite 
rigourous manipulations; footnotes are inserts and inserts, like marks and 
other funny nodes often spoil things, so here the solution is it to carry 
over the footnote:

\def\donaar#1[#2]%
   {\dontleavehmode
    \bgroup
    \postponefootnotes
    \doifreferencefoundelse{#2}
      {\doifelsenothing{#1}
         {\dosymbolreference{}{}[#2]}
         {\donaarspace{#1}[#2]}}
      {\unknownreference{#2}#1\relax}% \relax catches lookahead
    \egroup
    \referentieinfo{<}{#2}}

You can put this in the file "cont-new.tex" and see if it solves the problem

indeed, if you want to refer to something, you use \in {something} [ref] or 
\at {somepage} [there] and alike; \reference just creates one, taking an 
argument which is to show up as reference:

%D There are three ways of defining a reference:
%D
%D \pagereference[here]
%D \textreference[here]{some text}
%D
%D the third alternative combines them in:
%D
%D \reference[here]{some text}

Uh, yes, that was an overlook on my part --use \pagereference
instead of \reference if you don't want to attach a text in the
reference. The bug is with the \footnote within the \ref. I
*think* it might be because the \footnote becomes a reference
itself, and it seems that ConTeXt doesn't deal well with refs
within refs ...

actually, it kind of does, in case of:

   word \footnote

the footnote will be attached to 'word' and

   word \footnote {} \footnote {}

is also handled (some spacing between both notes, since 1 2 looks better 
than 12); there's lots of those hidden things in context

I have to investigate this. Get ready for something cool coming in

Ok, I give up: is there some way to do extra manipulation on the
previous word? (like, making it a reference, or something)

Can you be more explicit on what you want to achieve?

Consider:

This word\footnote{with a footnote} has a footnote

Now, when producing DVIs, the foonote number (hyer)linked to the
footnote would suffice. When creating PDFs I would prefer the
footnote to be turned into a tooltip (this I already did) and the
word to be turned into the active area, i.e. a result similar to
\tooltip{footnote}{with a footnote}.

I can do this by defining a command \xfootnote{word}{with a
footnote} that gives either of the two results in each case, but
it would be nice if it was possible without changing the sources.

it is still on my agenda to make something generic for that

the problem (well not that big a problem since it's seldom needed) is that 
one cannot look back into the input stream over the word; so indeed 
something with multiple args is needed, although clicking on some symbols 
is ok too
