Hi,

As ConTeXt is such a highly configurable set of macros (at least for 
those who know)
I wonder if there's a way to place footnotes on page but not at the bottom -

I'd like to have them e.g. in the margins.


As there is no predefinded

\setupfootnotes[location=inmargin]

I tried something like

\inmargin{\footnote{}The footnote's text.}

Which doesn't really work - as it doesn't "flow": I you have a 
footnote at line 5 and line 6 then you have a problem because the 
second footnote doesn't wait for the first to be finished...

Is there a better hack?


Happy for feedback,

Steffen
