Footnote numbering

Footnote numbering

[cohsb]

Hi,

is there a possibility to restart the numbering of footnotes? (i.e. i, ii,
iii,... in the front matter, and then 1,2,3... in the body). I could switch to
the roman numerals quite easily but I could not manage to let the new
numbering start at 1. I also tried to use parts for that, which just led to funny
page numbers but did not have any influence on the footnote numbering at all.

Perhaps somebody knows a simple solution?

Many thanks and cheers, Chris.

Since it is stated in the manual to look at core-not.tex, I did so
and found the command \resetnummer[...]. I have no idea if this is ok
to use (but I guess it is not, since Hans always comes up with a
better solution ;->) but here is the simple hack anyway:

\setupfootnotes[conversion=romannumerals]
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
Some text\footnote{interesting}.
\stopfrontmatter 
\resetnummer[footnote]
\setupfootnotes[conversion=numbers]
\startbodymatter
Some text\footnote{interesting}.
\stopbodymatter 
\startbackmatter
Some text\footnote{interesting}.
\stopbackmatter
\stoptext

Then give this a try:

\setupfootnotes[conversion=romannumerals,way=bypart]
\starttext
\part {one}
Some text\footnote{interesting}.
\part {two}
\setupfootnotes[conversion=numbers]
Some text\footnote{interesting}.
\part {three}
Some text\footnote{interesting}.
\stoptext

i still have to interface the number macros

\ifx\resetnumber\undefined \let\resetnumber\resetnummer \fi

\resetnumber[footnote]
