Hi Talal,
I wonder whether creating a new thread should be the right thing to do.
The original thread is three years old.
Anyway, this may help you (it isn’t my original code):
\unexpanded\def\doVariant#1#2#3%
{\startlinenote[#1]{#2] #3}#2\stoplinenote[#1]}
\newcounter\countvariants
\unexpanded\def\variant
{\doglobal\increment\countvariants
\normalexpanded{\doVariant{Varia:\countvariants}}}
\starttext
\startlinenumbering
\dorecurse{20}{\variant{donald e knuth}{herman zapf} }
\stoplinenumbering
\stoptext
BTW, it has a “minor issue”: hyphenation doesn’t work in the body text
It works fine in the notes. I reported this, but I’m afraid it hasn’t
been solved.
Just in case it helps,
Pablo
