Hi all,
is there a way to influence the linespacing of the footnote block?
I'd like to typeset it in 9pt/11pt while the main text is set to 12pt/
14.5pt (using an OpenType font) ... Any help highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Oliver

If you just want a smaller font size
\setupnotedefinition
[footnote]
[style=small]
or if you also want to set interline space
\setupnotedefinition
[footnote]
[before={\switchtobodyfont[9pt]\setupinterlinespace},
after{\endgraf}]
You can also pass parameters to \setupinterlinespace to get the
precise spacing that you want.

Thanks for your quick reply, Aditya. I'm afraid this doesn't quite
work as expected ... the line spacing isn't changed at all here :-
( This is my setup:
\setupnote
[footnote]
[before=, % remove blank line before
% bodyfont=9pt,
command=, % this disables the superscript
n=0] % footnote block as a single paragraph
\setupnotedefinition
[footnote]
[location=serried,
before={\switchtobodyfont[9pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=11pt]},
after={\endgraf},
distance=1ex,
headstyle=\ss\bf]
Also I'm somewhat puzzled ... why put these before and after commands
in \setupnotedefinition rather than \setupnote? As far as I can tell
\setupnote already has a bodyfont option (but none for the line
spacing) ... also I always thought that \setupnotedefinition refers
to a description and controls the way a single footnote is typeset
while \setupnote is supposed to influence the whole block ... On top
of that does the \endgraf command conflict with the n=0 option in
\setupnote?

If the only place you use 9pt font is footnotes then something like
this should also work
\setupbodyfontenvironment[9pt][interlinespace=11pt]
Since you use n=0, you can also do
\setupnote
[footnote]
[before={\setupinterlinespace[line=11pt]},
bodyfont=9pt,
command=, % this disables the superscript
n=0] % footnote block as a single paragraph
\setupnotedefinition
[footnote]
[location=serried,
distance=1ex,
headstyle=\ss\bf]

Since you are working with line=11pt it does not make a difference.
I was thinking of line=1.2ex (or something) where it matters what is
the current font size.
If n=0 is not set, and you use absolute font sizes, it will work in
both cases.
With n=0, things are a bit different. n=0 uses \starttextnotes instead
of \setcolumnnotes and both work differently. So, with n=0, you need
it in setupnotes.

It is not too hard to add. For fun, try
\def\setnotebodyfont
{\switchtobodyfont[9pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=50pt]}
with default settings. (this of course is not a good idea, especially
in this case, when there are other workarounds)

Yes. What I reasoned was that interline space should be set for each
footnote.

Forget about what I said earlier. n=0 uses a different setup
altogether.
Hans, does it make sense to interface interlinespace in footnotes? Or
add a \everyfootnotebodyfontswitch token?
