Hi Hans,
It seems that Arabic or Persian numerals (for instance in section
numbers) in mkiv begin at 0, instead of 1… well it is true that in
Mathematics natural integers begin with 0, but not in books in those
languages :-)
Here is a minimal example:
\setupdirections[bidi=global]
\pagedir TRT
\bodydir TRT
\pardir TRT
\textdir TRT
\starttypescript[serif][arabic]
\usetypescript[serif][fallback]
\definefontsynonym [Serif][name:SimpleNaskhi] [features=arabic]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [arabic]
\definetypeface [arabic][rm] [serif] [arabic] [default]
\stoptypescript
\usetypescript[arabic]
\setupbodyfont[arabic,12pt]
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% heading numbers:
\setuphead[section][conversion=persiannumerals] %,numberstyle={arabic}]
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\starttext
\dorecurse{5}{%
\section{بخش}\par
آزمایش
}
\stoptext
Pardon me if I have been missing something already explained elsewhere.
it all depends how we define conversions
- numeric (1,2,3,4)
- alphabetic (a,b,c,d)
numeric is used in chapter numbering and alphabetic for instance in
itemized (ok, all can be used everywhere but those are most common)
so, the question is ... how do we define the commands ... maybe we need:
\def\abjadnumerals #1{\ctxlua{converters.abjadnumerals(\number#1)}}
\def\abjadnodotnumerals#1{\ctxlua{converters.abjadnodotnumerals(\number#1)}}
\def\abjadnaivenumerals#1{\ctxlua{converters.abjadnumerals(\number#1)}}
\defineconversion [arabicnumerals] [\abjadnumerals]
\defineconversion [persiannumerals] [\abjadnumerals]
Idris ... any ideas about this? We never finished this so it's about time
