How to create multiple references to a single footnote in ConTeXt?

Question

I have some footnotes in a ConTeXt document, which must be referenced too multiple times, i.e., the superscript mark 1 appears in several parts of the document, but the footnote is only displayed once, e.g.:

This is some text.^1

^1 This is the footnote text.

This is some more text.^1

With the stable edition of ConTeXt, this syntax worked:

\setupfootnotes[location=text]
\starttext
    This is some text.\note[footnote][1]
        \setnotetext[footnote][1]{This is the footnote text.}
        \placefootnotes
    This is some more text.\note[footnote][1]
\stopfootnote

With the current edition of ConTeXt, \setnotetext seems to correctly place the notes, however, \note seems no longer able to refer to my notes. After compiling, I get:

This is some text.^??

^1 This is the footnote text.

This is some more text.^??

I also tried the instructions found at the ConTeXt Garden article on footnotes, but the resulting compilation also creates ?? instead of numbering.

How can I create multiple references to a single footnote in the current version of ConTeXt?

Answer 1

This works for me, using \footnote and \note in any order:

This is some text.\footnote[footnote]{This is the footnote text.}

This is some more text.\note[footnote]

This leaves the specification of the footnote symbol to ConTeXt. If you want to specify the number yourself, look at \defineconversion

\defineconversion[myset][list of comma separated symbols]
\setupnotation[footnote][way=bypage,numberconversion=myset]

Does this solve your problem, or does some more specific use still not work?
