Thanks, this works for figures.

I couldn't get the same to work for chapters, sections, etc.

\setuphead[chapter,section][conversion=lefttorightnumber]

This does not have any effect.


The solution I had in the first email of this thread (see below) has
another issue, which I discovered later.

\setuphead[chapter,title,section,subject][numbercommand=\righttoleft]

The 12th section in the first chapter is written as 1.12 instead of 12.1; I
want the latter because of r2l align.

Another question: how do I change the separator to something else, say --?
I have played with separator and separatorset, but neither seems to work.
