Hi,

is there a predefined command for placing short footnotes
at the bottom of each page but horizontally continuos?

Is saw this way of typesetting footnotes in an "old" (seventies)-typeset philosophical book.
It looks likes this:

body text body text body
text body  text body bo-
dy  text body  text body.
------
1 short   2 short 3 too
4 short
5 but hey: the long note
starts in a new line!


I have never seen footnotes like this before.
But it reads very pleasant:
This way you don't have lot of empty white space (withs short notes),
and it still is very clear (for the long footnote starts on a new line).


Is it possible to typeset this in ConTeXt?

Steffen
