Hraban, Thanks.

I will have a play with that -- I am always getting lost in the various sets of 
syntax rules (mk's, etc)...

You are right, the new MKIV syntax hints at possibilities. Is any documentation 
other than the footnote page on the wiki and a few recent posts? Do I really 
have to dig through the sources in base for switches, options, etc?


As with most comands, there is a definecommand. As footnotes are descriptions you set them up with two commands: \setupnote and \setupdescriptions

In ConTeXt MkIV \setupfootnotes is gone, it's
\setupnote[footnote] now (and the "conversion" parameter was
renamed to "numberconversion"); you can deduct that there
are several kinds of notes should be simply possible via
\note[mynote]{} etc. (Since \note collides with MkII's
\note, I don't know and I can't test at the moment.)


Perhaps add your findings to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Footnotes

Happy to do so. I have never written on contextgarden. Just go ahead and modify 
and expand? Or go through the discussion page first? I'm a bit on the cautious 
side here ..

there you go

\definenote [onenote] [location=page,way=bychapter]
\definenote [twonote] [location=text,way=bychapter]

\section {Alpha} test \onenote{alpha one} \twonote {alpha two}
