Hi, when inner/outer alignment of paragraphs is used in a doublesided document with the text direction from RTL, the direction is changed back to LTR starting with the second page. The reason for this is the \signalinnerrealign (or \signalouterrealign) command. %\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \signalinnerrealign % is used in doublesided documents \setupalign[inner,righttoleft] \starttext \dorecurse{3}{\samplefile{weisman}\page} \stoptext Wolfgang
