\setupfootnotes[split=?] query
No luck last time, so I will send this out once more: Currently I have \setupfootnotes[split=verystrict] and I am still getting one footnote call that occurs on the last line of page n where the note itself appears on page n+1. Is there a way to prevent this by assigning split= a number? If so, what numerical value will work? Or is there another setting? Thanks for any help. Cheers, Alan
Hi Alan, It would help enormously if one of us (me) had access to a file that demonstrates the problem. This stuff is hard to fix 'theoretically'. Cheers, Taco Alan Bowen wrote:

Hi, Taco— I am happy to do this. Do you want an abbreviated source file and/or my environment file? And, depending on the size of the file, shall I send them to you (somewhere) off list? Best, Alan On Mar 13, 2006, at 11:06 AM, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

Add this line to your environment file somewhere: \brokenpenalty \zerocount Your problem was not with the footnotes themselves but with the page builder: ConTeXt (like plain) normally refuses to end pages with a line that end with a hyphen, and the line with footnote 4 on it does end in one, so the next line is forced to be on that page as well (dropping two lines would make the page underfull, so that option is never considered). Cheers, taco
Taco— Many thanks for the fix and the explanation. Both are very much appreciated. All best, Alan On Mar 14, 2006, at 4:57 AM, Taco Hoekwater wrote:
