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? > >does ConTeXt provide a way to place footnote (not margin notes!) per page - but not below the body text? > >A suitable place could be the margin.
