Hi
Footnotes originating from an RTL paragraph will be also typeset in RTL mode as the following example illustrates:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\setupdelimitedtext[blockquote]
[leftmargin=1.5em,rightmargin=0em,]
\definedelimitedtext[rtlblockquote]
\setupdelimitedtext[rtlblockquote]
[leftmargin=0em,rightmargin=1.5em,before={\righttoleft}]
\starttext
\input knuth
\startblockquote
\input knuth\footnote{this starts on the left.}
\stopblockquote
\startrtlblockquote
\input knuth\footnote{this should start on the left, but it doesn't.}
\stoprtlblockquote
\input knuth
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
According to the wiki, that's the expected behaviour (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/RTL#Footnotes).
However, I'd prefer to keep the footnotes as LTR footnotes. Can I convince ConTeXt to typeset these footnotes in LTR mode?
Best,
Denis

Ok, this works:
\setupnote[footnote][align=l2r]
Does that have any drawbacks?
Is it possible to change the text direction for single notes ?

Hi Denis,
I don’t think it may have (other than forgetting other options, such as
hz or hanging).
> Is it possible to change the text direction for single notes?
It doesn’t seem an option for \startfootnote. How about defining a new
command?
\definedelimitedtext[rtlblockquote][before={\righttoleft}]
\definenote[otnote][footnote]
\setupnote[otnote][align=l2r]
\starttext
\input zapf
\startblockquote
\input zapf\footnote{this starts on the left.}
\stopblockquote
\startrtlblockquote
\input zapf\footnote{this should start on the left.}
\input zapf\otnote{this should start on the left.}
\stoprtlblockquote
\input zapf
\stoptext
Just in case it might help,
Pablo

Ah, I alway forget that. By the way, is there a way to append to setting instead of overriding it?

Yep, unlike other \startstops \startfootnote does not inherit key-values settings from the corresponding \setupX (I mean, it does of course inherit the settings, but you can't set them directly on \startfootnote.) Why is that? Is it due to the fact that note setups take place in two places? (\setupnote vs \setupnotation)?

Thanks for pointing me in that direction. That looks good.

sure, but I don't think it needs to be avocated (valid but not intuitive)
i'll add this (only a few line addition with no performance hit):
\definealign[MyAlign][r2l,flushleft]
so that you can do
\setupalign[MyAlign]
and you can also use it as value to the align parameter as well ... the
usual 'context abstraction'
so again something to wikify ...

Nice! So, IIUC, you should also be able to do something like this then:
\definealign[AlignStandard][verytolerant,stretch]
\definealign[AlignR2L][AlignStandard][r2l]
Is that correct?
Re wikifying: I've tried to create the \definealign page, but unlike other command pages this page would look empty with no automatically generated content. So I guess the command is not yet in the command index, right?

Wanted to wikify, but is this already implemented?
