footnotes when using RtL (Arabic)

footnotes when using RtL (Arabic)

[Talal Al-Azem]

Dear all,

Two quick questions regarding footnotes and Arabic:

1. How do I get a footnote rule/marker to go from right-to-left (i.e. to begin at the right margin instead of the left margin)?

2. 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?

Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Talal

p.s. Below is my attempt thus far, with the problem of defining paragraph=yes, and with the problem of the footnote rule/marker. Reference to what I should change in this example would be most helpful:

}
\stopbaselinecorrection

Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer\footnote{Such as Knuth himself.} of a new system must not only be the implementer and first large--scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual.

The separation of any of these four components would have hurt TEX significantly.

Re: footnotes when using RtL (Arabic)

[Talal Al-Azem]

Thanks Wolfgang. That makes that matter clearer. But how do I get those Arabic footnotes to be right aligned as well?

May I also ask: what is the purpose, at least in my example that I'm learning from, of:
\definefontfeature[arabic][default][mode=node,script=arabic] ?

I ask, because when I switched it from [default][default] to [arabic][default] as you suggested, the Arabic glyphs no longer connected, and the text actually spilled over into the footnote space. When I commented it out, the glyphs connected again.

Finally, so that I can start learning on my own without bothering you and everyone else on the list, where would I have systematically found a discussion of RtL feaures such as rule=right? Or are there any preexisting example files of complicated Arabic that I could study and learn from?

Kind regards,
Talal

p.s. Thanks for the \definestartstop environment. As you can see, I'm still learning the basics of ConTeXt. :-)

The first argument is the name of the new feature set, the second is an
optional feature set to be inherited. Actually, ConTeXt already has a
predefined "arabic" feature and you can just use it.

With my setting you create a new font feature ”arabic” which inherits the setting from the ”default” features with the extra settings “mode=node” and ”script=arabic” while your settings extends the ”default” features with these values. I did this because you use the ”arabic” font feature in the \definemainfontfallback setup but i forgot that context already has a “arabic” feature which enables a lot of font options which you need.

Maybe in the list archive but often such things are discussed offline, i found it myself in the source.

> Or are there any preexisting example files of complicated Arabic that I could study and learn from?

I guess the wiki page you already know is currently the only source.

Wolfgang, thank you once again. One last problem, if I may.

After replacing your "rightoleft" above with your earlier r2l (the former didn't work, the latter did), this indeed did cause the footnote block to move to the right margin. However, the note 1 is still on the far left, note 2 in the middle, and note 3 on the far right, instead of the other way around (note 1 on far right, note 2 in middle, note 3 on the far left), which is the logical ordering since we are reading right to left. (See attached pdf example, compare the order of the footnotes in the paragraph to the order *from right-to-left* in the footnote area.)

I did this because you use the ”arabic” font feature in the \definemainfontfallback setup but i forgot that context already has a “arabic” feature which enables a lot of font options which you need.

So, in light of what you and Khaled have mentioned, I suppose I can remove that line, and simply use:
\setmainfontfallback[Lotus Linotype][scale=1.33,features=arabic,range={arabic,arabicpresentationformsa,arabicpresentationformsb,arabicsupplement}]

Scouring the source is rather intimidating at this stage. I guess that at least partially justifies my sending questions on here, since I haven't seen r2l mentioned anywhere else at all. ;-)

>> Or are there any preexisting example files of complicated Arabic that I could study and learn from?
> I guess the wiki page you already know is currently the only source.

Yes, I'm looking for more real-world, detailed examples, to study and mould my own document off of. In any case, once I'm more self-confident, maybe I can do my bit and add some of this info onto the wiki.

Thank you for all of your time and help.

Kind regards,
Talal

just a remark in addition to WS:

all bidi related code is under construction, that is, we're trying to 
figure out a decent (useable) model for complex mixed direction documents

we implement this stepwise looking at each structure element and decide 
what is needed, so best is just to notice what needs to be done and 
discuss it

apart from lefttoright/righttoleft we also need to deal with consistent 
positioning

as we need to make manuals in due time we started with verbatim (there 
will be several bidi models available; maybe Idris can send you the 
draft on bidi)

anyhow, here's some more: in addition to align options we also will have 
locations reflecting the direction:

\definefont[MyMono][file:dejavusansmono sa 1]

\setuptyping             [style=\MyMono,numbering=line,start=1,step=1]

Hans, running your example through (what I think is) the latest beta, does not produce any Arabic in the PDF, if that was intended. I've attached the PDF.

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).

Re: footnotes when using RtL (Arabic)

[Talal Al-Azem]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 805 bytes --]

Hello Hans,

> I have no clue what you want/need/.

Take a look at the files attached. In the text:

1. The first afootnote is: 		* Hickory dickory dock.
2. The second afootnote is: 	† The mouse ran up the clock.
3. The third afootnote is: 		‡ The clock struck one the mouse fell down.

Now, in the apparatus: the order should be the same, but from right to left. So, reading from the right-to-left in the apparatus, it should read:

.nwod llef esuom eht eno kcurts kcolc ehT ‡ .kcolc eht pu nar esuom ehT † .kcod yrokcid yrokciH ∗

Which is the opposite of how it reads now. This is important for critical editions in Arabic (or other RtL languages) in which we are going to be dealing with the lemmas and variants.

Does this make it a bit clearer?

Kind regards,
Talal

Re: footnotes when using RtL (Arabic)

[talazem]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 4046 bytes --]

In a separate thread ("r2l alignment and linenumbering conflict? <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/92201>"), we've gotten numerals in an Arabic RTL document to (a) display as Arabic numerals, and (b) to order their digits in the right order (e.g. 2015 instead of 5102). By defining the headstyle of linenotes, we can even get linenotes to display the digits within individual numbers in the correct order (see below).

However, when there is a line range in the linenote head, it is flipping the order of the page ranges. In the example PDF attached below, where it should read ١٥-١٦ (16-15, with the fifteen on the right and the sixteen on the left, for R2L word ordering), instead the output is ١٦-١٥.

This seems to be a further example of the problems arising from not being able to apply bidi to the linenote stream, due to the bug or conflict between footnotes/linenotes and R2L. In the minimal example below, I have commented out the \startsetups[note:linenote]. The lines may be toggled to see the effect it has.

Talal,

sorry for the noise, the first linenote has the problem you described.

I thought it belonged to the second linenote.

Re: footnotes when using RtL (Arabic)

[talazem]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1988 bytes --]

Thanks for the help, Pablo, but, unfortunately, this is not solving the problem (at least over here): The beginning of the third footnote/linenote is still missing. It should read (at the end of line one and at the beginning of line two of the notes):
0 وهذه
تعليقة
The end of line one is dropped. I have put an arrow on the attached PDF to demonstrate where it should be. (Of course, it is possible that our source tex files are slightly different?)

Hi Talal,

replace you bidi settings with this ones:

\setupdirections[bidi=global, method=two]

\startsetups[note:linenote]
  \setupdirections[bidi=global,method=two,fences=yes]
\stopsetups

\setupalign[r2l]

At least, they work for me.

Apologies: While the problem remains, I realise now that using "method=one" or "method=two" wasn’t having any effect because I had forgotten to add the option "align=righttoleft,” to "\setupnotations[lnote]”. Having done so, adding the method options do have an effect. But the output is still flawed; the beginning of the third note is missing at the end of the first line of the footnote, while its last few words can be seen on the second line of the footnote.

Re: footnotes when using RtL (Arabic)

[talazem]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 433 bytes --]

Thank you, Pablo, for bringing method=two to my attention. I’ve read what has been written about in on the mailing list. However, in my case, it does not solve the problem. On the document I’ve attached:
- using method=default produces the error I raised yesterday;
- using method=one (or method=two) seem to do nothing — the parentheses are still inversed, as if I hadn’t defined \setupdirections at all. See attached:

Hi Talal,

I experienced this issue before (although r2l languages are all Greek to
me :-().

\setupdirections[bidi=global, method=two] seems to fix the problem.

I hope it helps,

I’ve run into a hiccup. In the previous MWE that worked with Woflgang and Hans’ patch, the notes were footnotes. However, if make them into linenotes, we run into a strange problem: the first note is typeset correctly, but all the remaining linenotes in that stream are typeset on the bottom left corner of the page. See attached files.

Best wishes,
Talal

Excellent. This seems to solve the problem completely. I even tried mixing Arabic and English text in the RTL footnotes, switched on the “alternative=serried” option, and defined my own custom note streams — everything worked very well. The only thing that didn’t work is to mix, in the same stream, footnotes that are LTR with footnotes that are RTL. But I did not expect this to work, and I cannot think of a real world scenario in which such footnotes would/should be mixed in the same stream.

Attached are both the .tex file and the PDF with a perfectly working example. Many thanks to you both, Wolfgang and Hans. Hans, I assume we’ll know if the patch eventually makes it into a beta? 

Best,

You’re right. The patch gets us half way to the desired behaviour (namely, correct ordering of the footnotes within the paragraph). But it seems that the ‘paragraph’ option doesn’t play well with RTL generally, resulting in the second note disappearing when using \startsetups[note:footnote] \setupdirections[bidi=global] \stopsetups.

The second note disappears even without the patch, the problem this the

I’ve come across a snag. When using parentheses in Arabic footnotes, they are flipped. In any earlier email (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/91501/match=setupdirections+bidi+global), you had advised adding the following:

> \startsetups[note:footnote]

However, if one does this with your patch, the second footnote gets dropped. Here is the MWE:

Hi Wolfgang,

your patch works fine with both samples.

What I wonder is wheter \setupnote and \setupnototation should inherit
the property from \setupalign[r2l] or from the alignment in the body
position where they are inserted.

Looking good... Question:

========From strc-not.mkvi=======
\def\strc_notes_flush_global
   {\begingroup
    \useinterlinespaceparameter\noteparameter
    \doifelse{\noteparameter\c!paragraph}\v!yes
      {\vbox\starthboxestohbox
         \iftrialtypesetting\unvcopy\else\unvbox\fi\currentnoteinsertionnumber
       \stophboxestohbox}
      {\iftrialtypesetting\unvcopied\else\unvboxed\fi\currentnoteinsertionnumber}%
    \endgroup}
=================================

What was key point of attack in the original definition that was  
hardwiring the TLT in the note markers?

Best wishes

Adding "\definenotation[afootnote][alternative=serried, align=r2l]"
makes alignment even worse.

Re: footnotes when using RtL (Arabic)

[talazem]

Thank you, Pablo. This is indeed the problem: the individual elements — the notes — are correctly RTL, but the overall “paragraph” is ordering the elements LTR (with the additional caveat the footnote paragraph is not properly aligned/justified to the right margin either).

Best wishes,
Talal

I wonder whether there is a bug somewhere in notes, because you may have
r2l notations, but the notes paragraph is built l2r:

    \setuppapersize[A6]
    \starttext \showframe

    \definenote[afootnote][rule={on,right}, paragraph=yes]
    \definenotation[afootnote][align=r2l]

    \startalignment[r2l]
    Testing.\afootnote{This is footnote one.}
    Testing testing.\afootnote{This is footnote two.}
    Testing testing testing.\afootnote{This is footnote three.}
    \stopalignment

    \stoptext

Just in case it might help,

Pablo

I wonder whether anyone might have any thoughts about the below? Many thanks.

To say it another way, the entire footnote frame should be r2l, regardless of its contents, perhaps (as Idris wrote to me) through some hard direction switch for the entire frame.

I’m reviving this old thread, as the problem appears to still exist. Consider the following:

In the output (r2l.pdf), the text runs from right to left as it should, and the footnote reference numbers are in the right margin, as they should be.

However, if we switch the option “paragraph” to “yes”, the entire frame no longer runs r2l (see the output in r2l-yes.pdf).

What I want is for the text to read as follows:
> .eerht etontoof si sihT 3  .owt etontoof si sihT 2  .eno etontoof si sihT 1

where the entire frame begins at the right margin, such that the first footnote number (1) is in the right margin, instead of in the left margin as it is in r2l-yes.pdf. To say it another way, the entire footnote frame should be r2l, regardless of its contents, perhaps (as Idris wrote to me) through some hard direction switch for the entire frame.

Best wishes,
