Hi Hans,
It seems that Arabic or Persian numerals (for instance in section
numbers) in mkiv begin at 0, instead of 1… well it is true that in
Mathematics natural integers begin with 0, but not in books in those
languages :-)
Here is a minimal example:
\setupdirections[bidi=global]
\pagedir TRT
\bodydir TRT
\pardir TRT
\textdir TRT
\starttypescript[serif][arabic]
\usetypescript[serif][fallback]
\definefontsynonym [Serif][name:SimpleNaskhi] [features=arabic]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [arabic]
\definetypeface [arabic][rm] [serif] [arabic] [default]
\stoptypescript
\usetypescript[arabic]
\setupbodyfont[arabic,12pt]
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% heading numbers:
\setuphead[section][conversion=persiannumerals]
%,numberstyle={arabic}]
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\starttext
\dorecurse{5}{%
\section{بخش}\par
آزمایش
}
\stoptext
Pardon me if I have been missing something already explained elsewhere.
Best regards: OK

However my point is slightly different: the ordinal numbers in mkiv, while using Arabic or Persian, begin at zero instead of beginning at one. Here is an example: \setupdirections[bidi=global] \pagedir TRT \bodydir TRT \pardir TRT \textdir TRT \starttypescript [serif][arabic] \usetypescript [serif][fallback] \definefontsynonym [Serif][name:SimpleNaskhi] [features=arabic] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [arabic] \definetypeface [arabic][rm] [serif] [arabic] [default] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[arabic] \setupbodyfont[arabic,12pt] \starttext \dorecurse{10}{\recurselevel\quad\persiannumerals{\recurselevel}\par} \stoptext In front of "1" you'll see the Arabic or Persian "0" that is ".", which is incorrect. Thanks again for your attention, Best regards: OK ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
