first draft replicating mail posting. Please refine use cases and/or integrate with the Article example! Anyone know how to kill the whitespace in the example? A dumb \vfilll didn't work.
< [[From LaTeX to ConTeXt]]
In LaTeX, there is a form of metadata common to many classes, known as the <tt>\thanks</tt> command. It is essentially an un-numbered footnote that comes out of sequence with the rest of the footnotes. It can be simulated in ConTeXt simply by defining another note type (see <cmd>setupfootnotes</cmd> for a rough idea of the available parameters):
<texcode>
\definenote[thanks][conversion=set 2]
</texcode>
And used with the usual note and referencing commands:
<texcode>
\starttext
\title{This is a title\footnote{This is an unnecessary footnote.}}
\subject{ % just a cheap heading without explicitly renaming it `\author'
A. U. Thor\thanks[Misk]{A. U. Thor and W.H. Gates, III, are at Miskatonic U.},
A. N. Onymouse\thanks{A. N. Onymouse is at Shoggoth Enterprises.}, and
W. H. Gates, III\note[Misk]
}
Footnotes\footnote{Another note} return here.
\stoptext
</texcode>
This bare example looks like:
<context>
\definenote[thanks][conversion=set 2]
\starttext
\vfilll
\title{This is a title\footnote{This is an unnecessary footnote.}}
\subject{ % just a cheap heading without explicitly renaming it `\author'
A. U. Thor\thanks[Misk]{A. U. Thor and W.H. Gates, III, are at Miskatonic U.},
A. N. Onymouse\thanks{A. N. Onymouse is at Shoggoth Enterprises.}, and
W. H. Gates, III\note[Misk]
}
