Re: hyperlinks in PDF

[Alan Bowen <acbowen@princeton.edu>]

Hans—

This is wonderful. I installed ConTeXt beta (to ensure support for  
multiple footnote types) and used the patch. Problem solved! The  
footnote numbers are showing/behaving properly. So we are now just  
about ready to go online.

Many thanks.

Alan

PS: What version number will ConTeXt have when there is no need for the  
patch? A.
