Subject: Column not Balancing, Footnote is Missing
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2020 18:38:10 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAM1EaW7v0d3rJuHeViYH-qk50ojByWb1ajw_ewucrorGis-Hyg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Greetings, list. My first post here. Please be gentle!
The command \contextversion reports I am using 2020.09.03 20:03 on Windows 10.
The MWE below produces a column and a half of text, not balanced
(despite the \setupcolumns [...balance=yes...] command. Also, the
footnote *number* appears on the PDF, but the *text* of the footnote
doesn't.
However, when I use the online compiler (live.contextgarden.net,
reported version 2020.06.30 17:30, older than mine), the footnote text
*does* appear, though the columns are still not balanced.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\usemodule[ipsum]
\setupfootnotes[location=page,rule=on,bodyfont=8.5pt]
\setupcolumns [n=2,balance=yes,blank=line]
\starttext
\chapter{Footnote Test — \contextversion}
\startcolumns
\ipsum
Cursus metus aliquam eleifend mi in nulla posuere sollicitudin
aliquam. Id aliquet risus feugiat in ante metus dictum at
tempor.\footnote{Thor, A.U.: {\it Latin 101 for Dummies} (Rome,
Dummies Pub., MCMLXXIX)}
\ipsum[alternative=lines,n=20]
\end columns
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Question (1) : Why don't the columns balance, and how can I fix it?
Question (2) : Why does the footnote appear only with the online
compiler? What am I doing wrong?
Question (3) : For extra credit: How can I get the footnotes to
stretch the entire width of the text block instead of the width of one
column?
I did try to parse the somewhat opaque (to me) information in the wiki
and looked in the mailing list archives, but I didn't find the
information I needed.
Thank you for any help you can offer.
