[NTG-context] Two columns of footnotes

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 186 bytes --]

I own a commercially published book that has makes effective use of
footnotes that are arranged in two columns on each page. Does anybody
know how this can be set up within ConTeXt?

Technically it should be possible:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Footnotes
(see under footnote formatting).
However, the example is not particularly pretty and the explanatory text states there is a bug.

Don’t know if that is the current behavior or if this bug has been fixed.

Best,
Denis

Denis: 

Thanks, that is very helpful starting point which proves that it is
possible! 

I have tried the suggestions there, but, so far: 

	* I cannot adjust the gap ("distance" or "gutter") between the columns
 	* It seems impossible to turn-on a column-separating ruled line
 	* It would be useful to have a method for controlling orphan / widow
behaviour (such that a footnote in the left column doesn't spill-over as
just a single line into the 2nd column).

Any comments or ideas?
