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
