\setupfootnotes[split=?] query

\setupfootnotes[split=?] query

[Alan Bowen]

Currently I have \setupfootnotes[split=verystrict] and I am still  
getting one footnote call that occurs on the last line of page n   
where the note itself appears on page n+1.

Is there a way to prevent this by assigning split= a number? If so,  
what numerical value will work? Or is there another setting?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers, Alan

Taco—

Many thanks for the fix and the explanation. Both are very much  
appreciated.

All best, Alan

Add this line to your environment file somewhere:

   \brokenpenalty \zerocount

Your problem was not with the footnotes themselves but with the page 
builder: ConTeXt (like plain) normally refuses to end pages with a
line that end with a hyphen, and the line with footnote 4 on it does
end in one, so the next line is forced to be on that page as well
(dropping two lines would make the page  underfull, so that option is
never considered).

Cheers, taco

Hi, Taco—

I am happy to do this. Do you want an abbreviated source file and/or  
my environment file? And, depending on the size of the file, shall I  
send them to you (somewhere) off list?

Best, Alan

Hi Alan,

It would help enormously if one of us (me) had access to a file that
demonstrates the problem. This stuff is hard to fix 'theoretically'.

Cheers, Taco

\setupfootnotes[split=?] query

[Alan Bowen]

No luck last time, so I will send this out once more:

Currently I have \setupfootnotes[split=verystrict] and I am still
getting one footnote call that occurs on the last line of page n
where the note itself appears on page n+1.

Is there a way to prevent this by assigning split= a number? If so,
what numerical value will work? Or is there another setting?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers, Alan
