Now when using the=20 global direction changes that eomega/Gamma offers, this is trivial for a=20 global right-to-left document (\pagedir TRT and \bodydir TRT are the=20 global settings), but in a globally left-to-right document I have not bee= n=20 able to get this to work locally. To explain: \textdir TRT and \pardir TRT locally switch the text and paragraph directions respectively, but not th= e=20 footnote markers and rule. This is correct behavior of course. But I have= =20 an article that includes a long right-to-left extract with footnotes, and= =20 those footnotes need to be RL in the sense described above (numeral=20 + rule). Is there any way to add a parameter option to \setupfoonotes=20 which, between---say, a \start-\stop---that can locally switch the=20 location of the numeral and marker to RL? Please help: I'm supposed to send this thing to the printer next week:-)) Best Idris PS \pagedir TRT and \bodydir TRT don't seem to help this proble when=20 applied in a local context. --=20 Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
