Revision as of 19:26, 3 September 2005
There ought to be a better way to adjust the distance between the text and footnotes in these examples. The cleanest way is to reset the page height, but when I tried to do that with \setuplayout[height=1in], I got "internal error: gs failed" in place of the figure. The current method -- a \vskip, preceeded by an \hskip so that the \vskip doesn't get eaten by TeX's discarding of vertical glue at the top of the page -- is rather a bit of a hack, but it seems to work. --Brooks 23:20, 22 Aug 2005 (CEST)
- What about
\strut\vfill? Mojca
- That seems to work quite well; thanks! It still seems a little like a hack compared to making a small page (and I wonder why that doesn't work), but it's much cleaner. I've removed the HowTo box. --Brooks 19:00, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)
I can't get the promised "footnotes in footnotes in footnotes" to work; see this example:
This\footnote(Or that\footnote{Or possibly even the other\footnote{Though that's two words, rather than one.}.}, if you prefer.} is a sentence with a footnote.
Is that a ConTeXt problem, or a Wiki problem, or have I maybe just made a typo? Is there a workaround?
