While designing the layout for a cookbook I have used "paragraphs in columns" to place the ingredients and body text next to each other. In order to add some commentary to the body I have been experimenting with footnotes, to place comments at the end of the recipe without getting in the flow of the steps. In any case I seem to have found a bug: when I add a footnote inside the paragraphs environment it retains the enclosing width -- even if placed outside the space where it is defined. The following file demonstrates the issue. I expected to have the footnote full width across the page but, as you will probably see, it is constrained to half the width -- just like the running text. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- % demonstrate footnote width being crunched by paragraphs in columns \defineparagraphs[Para][n=2,rule=off,align=right] % left flush \starttext \startlocalfootnotes \startPara Hello, world. \nextPara This is some running text with a footnote, to demonstrate the way \footnote{This is a nice, long footnote which should spread text all the way across the page ... but doesn't, giving only the width of the enclosing block.} that the environment shrinks the footnote text flow. \stopPara \startPara I use multiple, consecutive paragraph environments ... \nextPara ... to lay out the ingredients for each step, and the steps sequentially, through the document. \stopPara \placelocalfootnotes \stoplocalfootnotes \stoptext --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I have ConTeXt from Ubuntu/Hardy, Texlive ConTeXt 2007.09.28-1, from the TeXlive 2007-13 packages supplied by the vendor. This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) ConTeXt ver: 2007.09.28 16:52 MKII fmt: 2007.12.19 int: english/english Is this a behaviour that I am stuck with, or can I get footnotes that expand to full width from within the two column environment? I am not wedded to the "paragraphs" model, and would be happy with a solution that would typeset with the same basic layout as the sample file does.
