I want to use the crucifix symbol as a footnote symbol on the title page of a
book. I don't want this to increment the footnote counter. The best I can do
is:
\setupnotation[footnote][way=bypage, state=stop, number=†]
but this does not produce any symbol at all.
If I do:
\setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=set 2]
then I get an asterix, not a crucifix, and I don't know how to prevent or
otherwise reset the footnote counter for subsequent footnote numberings.
David Roderick.
The following (tested) shows how to do this. You define a separate
series of footnotes (TitleFn below) with its own counter (TitleFnCount)
that functions independently of the default footnote series. You also
define the symbols you want to use for that series (TitleCS). (Note that
the second argument for defineconversion should be a list, so [×] will
not work, but [×,] will work. Color is shown for the second flag so that
it stands out if you accidentally make a second TitleFn.)
You can also reset the counter, as shown in the last couple of lines.
\setuppapersize [A6]
\defineconversion [TitleCS]
[†,{\color[red]{‽}}]
\definecounter [TitleFnCount]
[way=bytext]
\definenotation [TitleFn]
[footnote]
\setupnotation [footnote]
[numberconversion=set 2,
indenting={yes,small}]
\setupnotation [TitleFn]
[numberconversion=TitleCS,
counter=TitleFnCount,
indenting={yes,small}]
\starttext
This sentence has a title footnote.\TitleFn{Title}
This sentence has a regular footnote.\footnote{Footnote}
And this sentence has a regular footnote.\footnote{Footnote}
This is a second sentence with a title footnote.\TitleFn{Title}
\resetcounter[footnote]
Reusing the first regular footnote counter.\footnote{Footnote}
\stoptext
