Hi Hans and Idris,
there was no follow-up to Thomas' mail.
As I am still looking for arbitrary footnote placement,
do you can tell where this wonderful information is available?
Thank you,
Steffen

Sorry, hit the "send" button by accident.
OK, I feel guilty resurrecting this stale thread, but I can't resist
asking again.
I found this in m-arabtex.tex:
% \pushmacro\edmacloaded \let \edmacloaded \undefined
and later
% \popmacro\edmacloaded
Both lines are commented out, so I'm still wondering if edmac will work
with ConTeXt "out of the box."
The absolute basics that are needed for critical editions are:
1. Capability to have footnotes with reference to line-number instead
of counter. These notes must not end with a newline character (see
ASCII-art at end of post), but must provide the possibility to have
several on one line. These notes must not flow, they have to stay on
the same page as the reference. Horizontal tolerance can be set to very
sloppy to achieve this
2. Must be possible to apply a format like \bf vel. sim. to the
reference.
3. Within these notes, it should be possible to refer to other line
numbers.
4. Nice, but not quite essential: possibility to have notes in more
than one column.
5. Not absolutely basic, but important for serious work: have more than
one set of notes referring to the same passage.
Is this possible in ConTeXt "out of the box"? If not, I'd be willing to
roll up my sleeves and help, but would like to know which would be a
good starting point.
I looked at core-ltn.tex. I'm not sure if core-nnt and page-nnt refer
to core-not and page-not; I couldn't find anything appropriate in these
files.

Example what should be possible:
1 This manual is about ConTEXt, a system for typesetting documents.
2 Central element in this name is the word TEX because the typographical
3 programming language TEX is the base for ConTEXt. People who are used
4 to TEX will probably identify this manual as a TEX document. They
recognise
5 the use of \. One may also notice that the way pararaphs are broken
into lines
6 is often better than in the avarage typesetting system.

if i'm right, you have somewhere:
\input page-nnt
\input core-nnt
\input core-lnt
(multiple footnote classes, arbitrary footnote placement, line refs in
footnotes and so)

Hans has already done some preliminary work in this direction. I could not
completely test it because the implementations used hooks from e-TeX. Now
that eOmega/Aleph is available I will be able to be a bit more proactive in
testing/suggesting things.
I don't remember if Hans added the xperimental stuff for critical editions
to the latest beta. But I'm going to have to start testing this stuff soon,
because the next issue of our journal is supposed to have a couple of small
Arabic critical editions in it.

Sorry if this is a double post; I sent this message on Friday, and I
think it somehow got lost.
In March/April 2002, Hans and Idris had an interesting exchange about
the topic "critical editions in context" here in ntg-context; the main
question was whether the functionality of edmac could be implemented in
context. I'd be curious to know whether anything came out of it, I
couldn't find any follow-up.
