parenthesis in Arabic text

parenthesis in Arabic text

[Sam Ḥilluc]

Greetings,

I'm trying to typeset an Arabic text, but I have a problem with parenthesis in
footnotes. The following example:

    \usemodule[simplefonts]

    \setmainfont[amiri][features=arabic,range=arabic]
    \setupdirections[bidi=global]
    \setupalign[righttoleft]

    \def\text{(ب)}

    \startdocument
    \text\footnote{\text}.
    \stopdocument

gives the correct order in the text but the parenthesis are not adapted in the
footnote.

So in the text I get: (ب)
And in the footnote: )ب(.

You have to set the bidi settings again for the footnotes because
the notes mechanism resets many of these setups.

\startsetups[note:footnote]
  \setupdirections[bidi=global]
\stopsetups

\setupnote[footnote][setups=note:footnote] % align=righttoleft

Works perfectly, thanks.
