the next beta will have:
\setuplinenumbering[conversion=arabicdecimals]
What's wrong with 'persiannumerals' and 'arabicnumerals' which we had
before? They are not supposed to by synonymous for abjadnumerals... In
any case we need
U+: [0030-0039] -> [0660-0669]: arabicdecimals
U+: [0030-0039] -> [06F0-06F9]: persiandecimals
don't confuse decimals with alphabetic ones
a b c ... z aa ab ac ... az ....
vs
1 2 3 ... 10 11 12
so decimals is mapping chars 0-9 onto whatever else, in principle we can
have 15 => ae and 21 => ba
Sure, but that's what abjadnumerals are for. Right now we have
abjadnumerals=persiannumerals=arabicnumerals
If that's intentional, then no problem, arabicdecimals and persiandecimals
are fine nomenclature
Ah, it just hit me: You're making a literal analogy with romannumerals....
Best wishes
Idris
