\startcolumns and multi-line footnotes

\startcolumns and multi-line footnotes

Hi,

With the new version of columns, how do I get multi-line footnotes?
I tried various things with \setupnotation but nothing seems to work?


MWE:

\starttext
\startcolumns
\dorecurse{3}{\input ward\footnote{\input zapf} }
\stopcolumns
\stoptext


Best wishes,
Taco

Hi Taco,

There two documents 
	/context-minimal/tex/texmf-context/doc/context/documents/general/manuals/notnow.pdf
and
	/context-minimal/tex/texmf-context/doc/context/documents/general/manuals/pagecolumns.pdf
written by Hans in which he says that long footnotes and columns cannot be treated correctly yet (in the first one) and in the second he says that pagecolumns can handle a « sane » usage of columns and footnotes…

Indeed the following works but not with your example :-(
Best regards: OK

\definepagecolumns [example]
	[n=2,
	distance=5mm]

\starttext

\startpagecolumns[example]
\dorecurse {7} {
	\samplefile{tufte}
	\footnote{This is a short footnote.}
	\par 
	}
\stoppagecolumns
\stoptext

Which is a tad annoying, as my example worked in both mkii and mkiv
just fine before the switch to the new mixed column system. It worked
ok for decades, in fact.

The weird bit here is that the new mixed columns do actually reserve 
the correct amount of vertical space for the footnote, they just 
seem to ‘forget’ to break the footnote into lines in the end.

Best wishes,
Taco

Indeed. Any news about this issue?

To what version should I downgrade to get multi-line footnotes in
columns please?

TIA for any help,
