three questions on footnotes

[Steffen Wolfrum <context@st.estfiles.de>]

Hi,

as beautiful footnote placement is one of the most brilliant features in TeX
I were happy if these three detail questions could also be answered with ConTeXt.

Hans, do you have some time left to have a look, please?

As always, thank you very much,

Steffen


-> 1. headcommand

How do I use this new command for moving my footnotemarker?
I found only "location=top" showing a result and that was quite stupid ...

\setupfootnotedefinition[location=command,headcommand=\llap]



-> 2. footnotes (short: behind, long: below)?

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 a book I've read.
It looks likes this:

body text body text body
text body  text body bo-
dy  text body  text body.
------
1 short   2 short 3 short
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 (because of 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?



-> 3. Footnotes in margin? 

Hans once posted the code listed below. But the result on longer footnotes were halfempty (body text) pages.
Is there a bug fix, a work around?
