How to modify 

\footnote

in ConTeXt, such that the complete footnote is indented?

share|improve this question
By default footnotes are not indented. Can you add a complete minimal example that demonstrates your problem? – Marco Oct 16 '12 at 7:44
I am not sure, what you are asking for. Yes, footnotes are not indented, but I want them to indent. I think I should modify \setupfootenotes. Of course I can add a minexample (any footnote), if needed. Edit: Ok, my question could be misunderstood: I know there is no indentation, no complete and no first line, but Im looking for that (complete) indentation. Thats the question. – Mustafa Oct 16 '12 at 7:48
Sorry, I misread the question. I thought you asked how to get rid of the indentation. So you want the entire footnote to be shifted or only the first line? – Marco Oct 16 '12 at 7:52
Footnotes respect the indenting parameter: \setupnotation[footnote][indenting={small,yes}]. – phg Oct 16 '12 at 7:58
Yes, I want the entire footnote to indent. @phq: This does not work, no indentation of the footnote, where I have to place the \setupnotation? – Mustafa Oct 16 '12 at 8:11

I'm not quite sure how you want your footnotes to look like and what to indent. You find further information on the Wiki - Footnotes.

Use the \setupnotation [footnote] command to adjust the layout, here are some examples.

%% left align the footnote number and shift the footnotes
\setupnotation
  [footnote]
  [alternative=left]

%% indents the entire footnote by 2em and the number by 1em
\setupnotation
  [footnote]
  [alternative=left,
   width=2em,
   numbercommand=\hskip1em]

%% left align the footnote number, which practically indents the
%% first line
\setupnotation
  [footnote]
  [alternative=left,
   hang=1]

%% Indents the first line inclusive the footnote number
\setupnotation
  [footnote]
  [alternative=left,
   numbercommand=\hskip1cm]

%% Indents all footnotes and right-aligns the number
\setupnotation
  [footnote]
  [alternative=left,
   headalign=flushright,
   width=2em]

Full example:

\setupnotation
  [footnote]
  [alternative=left,
   hang=1,
   numbercommand=\hskip1cm]

\starttext

Lorem \startfootnote
        \input ward
      \stopfootnote

Ipsum \startfootnote
        \input ward
      \stopfootnote

\stoptext

result

That works, but I want to indent the entire footnote, not only it's first line. In LaTeX that is \deffootnote{2em}{2em}{\textsuperscript{\normalfont \thefootnotemark} } – Mustafa Oct 16 '12 at 8:17
The footnote number as well? – Marco Oct 16 '12 at 8:23
Yes, everything (f.e.) 2em to the right. – Mustafa Oct 16 '12 at 8:25

Something like \setupnotation[footnote][alternative=left,width=2em,numbercommand=\hskip1em]? – Marco Oct 16 '12 at 8:30

numbercommand=\hskip1.6em\high – Marco Oct 16 '12 at 8:49
