I would like some of my footnote streams to run RtL for Arabic, and also for those footnotes to be in paragraph form (i.e. \setupnote[afootnote][paragraph=yes] ). But when I add this command, my footnote instead runs LtR, the letters get cut up (i.e. the Arabic script is not connected), and I lose my footnote marker to add insult to injury. How should I define a footnote stream to run RtL in paragraph form? \starttext \showframe \definenote[afootnote][numberconversion=set 2,paragraph=yes,rule=right,align=r2l] \setupdescriptions[afootnote][display=no,location=serried,distance=.5em] \startalignment[l2r] test \footnote{\input ward } test \afootnote{\input ward } \input tufte \stopalignment \startalignment[r2l] test \footnote{\input ward \par} test \afootnote{\input ward \par } \input tufte \stopalignment \stoptext I have no clue what you want/need/. Keep in mind that paragraph footnotes are quite tricky (at least currently, maybe I can cook up a more robust solution using lua).
