Wolfgang & Hans,

In customizing the date, is there a way to use a number converter on day and year? In particular, I'd like to apply persiandecimals conversion on them.

You can only change the numbers for the day (see below, I used greek to demonstrate it) but it could be done better (e.g. \currentdate[persian->day,space,month,persian->month] with "->" as separator for the conversion and keyword).

%% begin example
\installlanguage[fa][state=start]

\defineconversion[fa][day][α,β,γ,δ,ε,ζ,η,θ,ι,κ,λ,μ]

\setupbodyfont[pagella]

\starttext

\currentdate[day]

\language[fa]

\currentdate[day]

\stoptext
%% end example

(I have a similar question regarding \currentime.)

Not possible at the moment.

Wolfgang
