Re: Footnotes Without Text Marks?

[John McChesney-Young <panis@pacbell.net>]

I had asked:

>>Is there a command or work-around in ConTeXt that's comparable to

and Hans kindly responded with:

>\stoptext

Thank you very much, Hans! It worked perfectly. I also discovered 
that the Plain TeX sequence:

test \footnote[-]{{${}^1$}whatever}

can be used with the bracketed hyphen to number the note itself while 
leaving the text unsullied (which I mention in case it's not obvious 
to some current or future reader of this thread); the superscript 
math snippet can also be put elsewhere in the footnote than the 
beginning, if one is so inclined.

Thanks again.

John
