referencing a footnote

referencing a footnote

[Robert Zydenbos]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 748 bytes --]

Another footnote question for the experts. I want to refer to a note from within another, later note. I thought I could do this in the following way:

…
\footnote[uvu-avu]{These two suffixes […]
…
\footnote{See n.~\note[uvu-avu].}
…

But I get this result:



There are two things wrong:

(1) I want to get a result that looks like “See n. 18.”, with a number that is not superscript. (This happens when I try such referencing in other notes as well as in the main text.)
(2) The number is wrong: it is footnote #19, not 18.

I *could* work around this problem by totally different means – but I would much prefer to reference notes more or less in the manner I tried above. What could I improve in my code?

Hi Robert,

the reference command in notes is \in (for both MkII and MkIV), such as in:

    \starttext
    \dorecurse{30}{\footnote{Footnote}}
    \footnote[uvu-avu]{These two suffixes […]}
    \dorecurse{30}{\footnote{Footnote}}
    …
    \footnote{See n.~\in[uvu-avu].}
    \stoptext

I hope it helps,

Pablo

Sorry, Robert, I almost forgot it.

If you reset the footnote numbers in each chapter, I’d rather suggest
something similar to:

  \footnote{See n.~\in[uvu-avu] on p.~\at[uvu-avu].}

Since footnote numbers aren’t unique, consider providing the page or the
chapter number.

Of course. :-)

Aha. I didn’t find that in contextref.pdf (2013 edition). But it works!

What does disturb me, however, is that I have this one chapter where the wrong note number is indicated (note 19 is referred to as note '18'), and I do not know why. Could it be that this is because earlier in the chapter I have also used

\setupnote [localnote] [location=none]
…
\startlocalfootnotes[conversion=characters,n=0]
…
\placenotes [localnote]
\stoplocalfootnotes

and that this somehow interferes with the referencing of other footnotes? That is the only difference I see between this chapter and the others.

I wasn’t able to compile your source, but this works fine:

    \starttext
    \dorecurse{30}{a\footnote{Zapf.} }

    \startlocalfootnotes[n=0,conversion=characters,location=none]
    \bTABLE
    \bTR \bTD 1 \footnote{\dorecurse{10}{abcd }} \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \eTR
    \bTR \bTD 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 \eTD \bTD 10 \eTD \eTR
    \eTABLE
    \placelocalfootnotes
    \stoplocalfootnotes

    \dorecurse{30}{e\footnote{Other.} }
    \footnote[uvu-avu]{These two suffixes […]}
    \dorecurse{30}{b\footnote{Knuth.} }
    …
    \footnote{See n.~\in[uvu-avu] on p.~\at[uvu-avu].}
    \stoptext

Without the source, all I can say is that it shouldn’t interfere.

A simple way to check it would be to comment out the fragment with the
local footnotes, compile and see what happens with the referenced number.
