Subject: Wikifying: footnotes in margin - two questions
Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2010 18:31:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <871v8kctfq.fsf@denkblock.local> (raw)
Hi all,
when Hans introduced the criterium option to \setupnote in recent betas
of MkIV, he asked me to wikify the problem of typesetting footnotes in
the margin in order to demonstrate the usage of that option. There are,
however, two questions I'd like to settle first. For one thing, the new
algorithm is still error prone as I can provide examples where it fails.
What is the preferred way to point out such a problem (in the wiki or
whereever), so it will be delt with eventually? Secondly, can someone
please explain to me why the example below produces so strikingly
different results when processed with MkII or MkIV? In particular, I'd
like to know why the footnote numbers are placed differently and, unless
this is due to a bug, how to mimic the MkII behaviour in MkIV.
Thanks in advance,
Elias

consecutive lines.} text in order to achieve a certain filling of
the page. }
