Hello all,

I have a couple of questions concerning the use of layers in
ConTeXt. I'm working with Luigi Scarso on a layout which is
characterized by some fixed-position elements surrounding
the actual main body of text.

For the fixed-position elements, I'm using layers. However,
my ConTeXt is a little rusty[*], so there are a couple of
things which I need hints for.

The first one is very simple: is there a way to 'fix' the
layer's content "until they change"? I've currently set them
as page backgrounds, but their content gets reset on each
new page.

The second question is slightly more complex: is there a way
to add contents to a layer, rather than replacing the
current layer content? Something like a macro

\addtolayer[layername][hoffset=whatever(optional)]{additional content}

Thanks in advance,

P.S. To prove that it's really me, I'll signal two minor
typos in the context source:

core-tab.tex:88:%D   {inintable, ifsplittables}

(first should be ifintable), and

page-lyr.tex:81:      \c!x=\zeropoint,\c!y=\zeropoint,\c!position=\v!no,
page-lyr.tex:87:      \c!location=rb,\c!position=\v!no,\c!page=,

position=no is set twice in the same setup.

[*] I've been out of the loop for a couple of years, the
University has sucked up most of my time. I was never too
happy with it, and I'm planning on a comeback :D

hello:

I have a problem with endnotes.

I use \placefootnotes at the end of each chapter.

When the last page of a chapter is almost empty, the footnotes are placed at 
the same page, but when the las page of a chapter is almost full, the notes 
jumps to a new page.

Also, I have a \stopcolumns before the notes.

How can I force the notes to keep in the same page?

Thankyou.

In the book I am working on, I would like to have substantial endnotes,
perhaps 10 to 20 pages of them.  The design I have in mind is to collect
all the endnotes in an appendix (actually an unnumbered backmatter chapter).
It should have separate sections called "Notes for Chapter 1", "Notes for
Chapter 2", or similar.  The note number should reset for each chapter,
and in the endnotes the note number should appear full-size rather than
in a small font.  Finally, for the interactive version of the book, the
endnotes should be coupled to their references in the text.

I can see how to get some of these features in ConTeXt, but not all.
Using \setupfootnotes[location=text,way=bychapter] and \placefootnotes,
I can get all the notes to appear together, but I don't know how to break
them up by chapter or reformat the number (\setupfootnotedefinition
[headstyle=...] wasn't helping?).  Moreover, it looks like the macros want
to collect them up in a giant \vbox, which might not scale too well.

Alternatively, the text block mechanism seems almost tailor-made for
this situation, except for one thing: I would like to couple the note,
which is naturally an enumeration, with the tiny little raised note number
in the text, which does not seem to be naturally an enumeration or
description (because it's in horizontal mode rather than vertical).
Maybe the coupling mechanism is general enough to do this; I don't know.

It wouldn't be overly hard (I hope) to do the coupling myself using ConTeXt's
reference commands, but I wonder if there is a better way.

Hello!

It maybe a stupid qestion, but it is a problem I am facing now:

I try to typeset a thesis, and I need endnotes (kind of bibliography) at the end of eatch section (or chapter when using parts). How can I do this?
