Hello Hans, and everyone else who replied!
In my view, there are three issues:
The incorrect footnote numbering, which was the first thing I noticed.
I hadn’t even noticed the baseline shift. On top of that, there’s a
different letter spacing when \footnote{} is used.
Added to that is the duplicate output when using `endnote` instead of
`footnote`.
So I’ll just have to manage without footnotes.
Greetings

Is it only me or do you also see a shift in the lineheight at 1,0
and 3,0??
I see the second "bla" to be a tiny bit higher than the first "bla" and
"blubs".
I also see the footnotes starting at 3. Does anyone else see that?
If so,
does that somehow make sense?
i'm not in notes modes ... anyway, this is what happens:
- for various reasons we process textexts twice
- but not always
- so we cannot use trialmode
- we couldn't anyway because different note tags would result in
dimensions being off
- this kind of usage is rare so we don't take it into account
one way out is:
\enabletrackers[metapost.textexts]
\starttext
\enabledirectives[metapost.text.fasttrack]
\startMPcode
draw textext("one \footnote{one}") withcolor red ;
draw textext("two \footnote{two}") xshifted 1cm ;
draw textext("two \footnote{two}") xshifted 2cm ;
\stopMPcode
\disabledirectives[metapost.text.fasttrack]
\startMPcode
draw textext("one \footnote{one}") withcolor red ;
draw textext("two \footnote{two}") xshifted 1cm ;
draw textext("two \footnote{two}") xshifted 2cm ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
which forces single pass mode but one looses the color option. Now,
given time and motivation i can look into modernizing this (read: use
mkxl features) but this is not code one wants to take risks with so it
might be a secondary mechanism.
I'll think abnout it once we are done with other metafun stuff we're
working on.
