% the next texexec will automatically generate pdf which is handy for 
scit eusers -)

\setupcolors[state=start]

\starttext

\pagedir TRT
\bodydir TRT
\pardir  TRT
\textdir TRT
\mathdir TRT

test {\red test} test\footnote{oeps}

\framed{oeps}

\page

\appendtoks
  \pardir  TLT
  \textdir TLT
  \mathdir TLT
\to \everypagebody

\appendtoks
  \pardir  TLT
  \textdir TLT
  \mathdir TLT
\to \everyforgetall

test {\red test} test\footnote{oeps}

\framed{oeps}

\stoptext

so what we need is a decent model for directions

- text
- graphics
- math
- footnotes
- ...?

any ideas on what kind of control is needed?
