vertically aligned side margin footnotes

vertically aligned side margin footnotes

[Alexandre Leray]

Hi again,

is there a way to typeset footnotes in the margin, but placed at the 
same vertical distance as the text they refer to?

Thanks,

Alex

No, but you can combine \inmargin and a counter:

\usemodule[annotation]

\define[2]\SidenoteCommand
  {\rawnumber[sidenote]%
   \inright{#1: #2}}

\defineannotation
  [sidenote]
  [alternative=command,
   command=\SidenoteCommand,
   number=yes]

\starttext

text text\sidenote{this is a note} text text

\input knuth

text text\sidenote{this is a note} text text

\stoptext

Hi and thanks for your help.

it works except that when the sidenote is too long it overflows the 
page. Is there a way to make the note continuing on the next page if it 
doesn't fit?

Thanks again,

Alex

No, margin texts are unbreakable blocks.

When you many side notes with lots of text it’s better to use a layout with a wider margin and a narrower textblock, before you do this you can try “\inmargin[stack=yes]{…}” in the definition of the side note command.

Hello Wolfgang,

Thanks for your reply. I will adjust my text flow "manually" if 
necessary as I only have a couple of pages to deal with.

While I was searching for an answer in the mailing list archive I found 
this email:

[NTG-context] Flowfram-like behavior?
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20110706.133155.c488c215.en.html

I think such a feature would have been great here, and I was wondering 
if there was any plan for this in the future?

Thank you,

Alex

There is an experimental stream feature but I haven't looked into that 
one for a while.

Hi,

Would it be possible to typeset the text on the left page and the 
comments on the right page?

Thanks

Alex
