connected), and I lose my footnote marker to add insult to injury. How should I
define a footnote stream to run RtL in paragraph form?
\starttext
\showframe
\definenote[afootnote][numberconversion=set
2,paragraph=yes,rule=right,align=r2l]
\setupdescriptions[afootnote][display=no,location=serried,distance=.5em]
\startalignment[l2r]
test \footnote{\input ward }
test \afootnote{\input ward }
\input tufte
\stopalignment
\startalignment[r2l]
test \footnote{\input ward \par}
test \afootnote{\input ward \par }
\input tufte
\stopalignment
\stoptext
I have no clue what you want/need/.
Keep in mind that paragraph footnotes are quite tricky (at least
currently, maybe I can cook up a more robust solution using lua).
