Footnotes in columns
I can no longer print the footnotes when I using columns in LTMX. If I remove the \{start|stop}columns, it works fine. This works on my old MKIV 2018.07.02 14:39 version. \setupcolumns[n=2,rule=off,balance=no] \starttext \startcolumns \input ward\footnote{A small footnote here} \stopcolumns \stoptext Context Version: 2021.01.24 16:07 Clyde
Hello Hans,
with fresh LMTX footnotes are still missing in \startcolumns as Clyde
reported:
\starttext
\startcolumns
\input knuth\footnote{D. E. Knuth}
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
Tried columnsets. Footnotes are overlapping text and some text at the
column break disappeared:
\starttext
\startcolumnset
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\footnote{D. E. Knuth}\ }
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
We are running out of options :) Could you, please, have a look at it when
your metafun mode is over?
Thanks,
Jano

I had to switch back to mkiv. It's on Hans' agenda, but with lots of interferencies there will be no quick fix. Coffee break at the meeting will be the right place to ask for the higher priority. Jano

good old mkiv ... so it serves a purpose! i would be more worried when you went back to mkii
i will pick up on footnotes once some other long pending priorities (annoyances actually) are met (which i will explain at the evening beer break next month) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

A lot has to do with defaults. We have several multicolumn mechanisms an cnotes themselves can also come in columns and it's nto easy to have a setup that suits them all, so each mechanism has additional settings. I'm still not sure how to deal with this because there are conflicting demands. So, one ends up in 'fix this setup' 'break that setup' situations (basically it means that we need to setup things on an extra axis: the kind of otr used). It's a bit the price we pay for configurability.

the problem with notes is that the pagebreak depends on them so it is impossible to predict sizes .. it works with ratios and such in basically a one column operation mode (because that is what tex has) text text text text text text text text text text text text note note note tex has to split page and notes if needed and take optional distance into account the lua(meta)tex engine already privides a bit more control but solutions always have to operate with margins now, if users would accept limitations much is possible but in the end there always a 'i want this note to end up here' demand the same with figures: if they may float we can do a good job, but designers / publishers (unaware of reliable floating) nearly always demand 'it should end up here' which then conflicts with automated typesetting because 'here' means that one also manually messes with the rest Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
