This actually seems to be rooted in a more general problem= with the publications support module. Why does invoking the fastsetup for = citations work within the default footnote setup, but not within endnotes f= lushed via \placenotes[footnote]? If I modify the original MWE to use ConTe= Xt's default btx rendering, I get the same error:

```
\startb= uffer [bib]

\starttext

=C2=A0 = =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 \placelistofpublications
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 \stopchapter=

\stoptext
```

If it helps, the relevant code in publicati= ons support is the following block in publ-imp-cite.mkvi:

```
\startsetups \s!btx:\s!cite:footnote
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 \startfo= otnote
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 \fastsetup{btx:cite:entry}
=C2=A0 = =C2=A0 \stopfootnote
\stopsetups
```

The=C2=A0\fastsetup{btx:c= ite:entry} doesn't expand to anything if the footnote is flushed as an = endnote via=C2=A0\placenotes[footnote]. Does anyone have any idea why this = happens and=C2=A0how to fix it?

A reasonable solu= tion for the time being would be to check if the righttext=C2=A0argument is= empty, and add a final period in the footnote only if it is not (with the = assumption being that the user would provide punctuation in any=C2=A0rightt= ext=C2=A0for footnote/endnote citations). I've pushed the following cha= nge to the GitHub repo, if you'd like to pull and use it:

This should allow your script t= o compile, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem to make endnotes work, at= least not when I try it. For some reason, the macro=C2=A0\Word{\fastsetup{= btx:sbl:cite:inline}} is expanding to nothing inside the \startfootnote=C2= =A0... \stopfootnote=C2=A0environment. I have no idea why this is happening= , so any ideas are appreciated.

Joel,

You may not have done anything wrong; this may be= an issue with ConTeXt-SBL. In my code for the=C2=A0btx:sbl:cite:footnote s= etup in publ-imp-sbl.mkvi, I added a comment to this effect:

```
= \startsetups btx:sbl:cite:footnote
=C2=A0 \removeunwantedspaces
=C2= =A0 \doifinstring{\btxparameter{punct}}{\btxparameter{autopunctuation}}{\bt= xparameter{punct}}
=C2=A0 \begingroup
=C2=A0 \letbtxparameter{punct}\= empty % don't pass the trailing punctuation down to the inline setup=C2=A0 \let\doifendswithpunctelse\btx_sbl_doifendswithpunctelse % why is t= his necessary? For some reason, \btx_sbl_doifendswithpunctelse is not recog= nized within the footnote environment...
=C2=A0 \startfootnote
=C2=A0= =C2=A0 \Word{\fastsetup{btx:sbl:cite:inline}}% capitalize the first word i= n the footnote (needed to render "Ibid." and "Idem" cor= rectly)
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 % Add a closing period, unless the righttext ends = with punctuation
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 \doifendswithpunctelse{\btxparameter{righ= ttext}} {
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 \removeunwantedspaces
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 } = {
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 \removeunwantedspaces
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 \bt= xperiod
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 }
=C2=A0 \stopfootnote
=C2=A0 \endgroup
= =C2=A0 \doifnotinstring{\btxparameter{punct}}{\btxparameter{autopunctuation= }}{\btxparameter{punct}}
\stopsetups
```

I d= efine the \btx_sbl_doifendswithpunctelse macro earlier in the module. Initi= ally, when I tried to invoke this macro within the \startfootnote ... \stop= footnote=C2=A0environment (to conditionally add a period at the end of a fo= otnote citation if it does not have a righttext ending with punctuation), I= got the same error you got, but for \btx_sbl_doifendswithpunctelse. I wasn= 't sure why this was happening, so I tried defining a new \doifendswith= punctelse macro. Unfortunately, based on your e-mail, it looks like this do= esn't actually fix the problem.

Any help from other developers w= ould be appreciated here! Unfortunately, I don't have a MWE replicating= the problem on hand at the moment.

According to the manual, I can suppress the pl= acement of footnotes using two lines of code. I've added these to my mi= nimal working code, placing \setupnote[footnote][location=3Dnone] in = the header and \placenotes[footnote] where I want the endnotes to ap= pear. It complains this error:
