\starttext
\setupfootnotes
[conversion=HowAboutIt]
\defineconversion
[HowAboutIt]
[One,Two,Three]
test \footnote{test}
test \footnote{test}
test \footnote{test}
\stoptext
any conversion can be used (see core-con.tex end of file for examples)

\def\MyRule
{\blackrule[width=3cm,height=1mm]
\vskip.5cm}
\setupfootnotes
[rule=\MyRule,
conversion=HowAboutIt]

\setupfootnotedefinition
[location=left,
