< [[From LaTeX to ConTeXt]]| [[Footnotes]] >
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>
\starttext
{\title{bfc This is a title\footnote{This is an unnecessary footnote.}}
\subject{ % just a cheap heading without explicitly renaming it `\author'
\stoptext
</texcode>
In Mark IV you should use numberconversion instead of conversion.
This bare example looks like:
\definenote[thanks][conversion=set 2]
\starttext
\hbox{}strut\vfilllvfill % A hack to shorten the page. {\title{bfc 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.},
\stoptext
</context>
