Hi,

Does anyone have any experience with right-to-left typesetting with
ConTeXt?  etex has primitives \beginR, \endR, \beginL, \endL which are for
this purpose, but how can I use them in ConTeXt?  Just as an experiment, I
put some \everypar and \everyhbox statements into an input file and got
some pretty nice results (reversed paragraphs and columns) along with a
lot of error messages about 'missing \endR'.  Of course, it's still pretty
crude (page numbers reversed, for example), and I know this is not the way
to do it?  Is there a 'way to do it' already implemented, or could the
ConTeXt gurus add something?  It doesn't sound like a lot of extra code.

Thanks,

Ephraim Yawitz
