Re: endnotes: ! Dimension too large. ?? (another problem)

[Steffen Wolfrum]

A big problem is that the \MyNote notes seem to be not "brakeable"

If such a note is half a page long and all the notes are set at the end of the text
it happens quite often that there is half a page empty (because the next note is too long).

Do you also have a clue for this?



Thank you,

Steffen

\definelist[MyNoteList]

\def\MyNoteList#1#2#3{#1\quad#2\endgraf}

\setuplist
   [MyNoteList]
   [criterium=text,
    alternative=command,
    command=\MyNoteList]

\newcounter\MyNotes

\long\def\MyNote#1%
   {\ifhmode\unskip\fi
    \doglobal\increment\MyNotes\relax
    \high{\MyNotes}%
    \expanded{\writetolist[MyNoteList]{\MyNotes}}{#1}}

\starttext

\dorecurse{10}{test \MyNote{Whow, another note \input tufte }\endgraf}

\page \placelist[MyNoteList][criterium=text]

\stoptext

you can feed it into a description, like:

   \definedescription[WhatANote]

and then use

   \startWhatANote{#1}#2\stopWhatANote

in the macro.

You can configure the description like footnotes (actuall a fn is a 
description)

Ah OK. 

But as far as I see the "command=" overwrites other possible settings like margin etc.

Do I have to include these descriptions in \MyNoteList in a more TeX way?

For example:
How do I set the notes with size 10pt, interlinespace 11pt, a margin 2cm and after space \blank?


Maybe you could give me an example for the code needed here?




Thank you,
