[NTG-context] usage of conversion in \date

[NTG-context] usage of conversion in \date

[Peter Münster]

Hi,

When printing a date in French, I would like to convert the "1" to
"1\ier", but it does not work as I expect:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\startluacode
-- from https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/defineconversion:
interfaces.implement {
    name      = "FRdate",
    public    = true,
    arguments = "string",
    actions   =
        function(s)
            local n = tonumber(s)
            if n == 1 then
                context"1\\ier"
            else
                context(s)
            end
        end
}
\stopluacode
\def\ier{\highordinalstr{er}}
\mainlanguage[fr]
\defineconversion[frd][\FRdate]
\setuplanguage[fr][date={day:frd,\ ,month,\ ,year}]
\starttext
Conversion: \convertnumber{frd}{1}, \convertnumber{frd}{2} (OK)\\
Dates: \date[d=1], \date[d=2] (not OK)
\stoptext
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

How could I get "1\ier\ novembre 2023" please?

TIA for any help,
-- 
           Peter

\starttext
     Dates: \date[d=1], \date[d=2] (not OK)
\stoptext

Unfortunately this does not work as I need. Only the "1" should be
converted to 1er, not the other numbers.

French is a bit special:
You say "le premier novembre" but not "le un novembre".
You say "le deux novembre" but not "le deuxième novembre".

According to https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/date:
"The name suffixes indicate number conversions. Any conversion, either
 built-in or defined by \defineconversion, can be used there."

But it does not seem to work...

Hi,

Should I add this to the bug-tracker?  If yes, where please?
It seems, that tracker.luatex.org is no more used.

TIA,
