Hello, I am experimenting with old-style figures (or text figures, as they are also called). Basically, I would like every number in my source document to be typeset in old-style figures (OSF) by default unless stated otherwise. This means: I want to reverse the mechanism so that I can explicitly say where NOT to use OSF. As a work-around I found the following on the list: \defineconversion[number][\os] \defineconversion[numbers][\os] This does not work for plain digits in the text, but it works for generated numbers like page numbers, and, to some degree, for the generated numbers of floats. \starttext \chapter[sample]{Sample} \placefigure[here][a]{cap}{test} Reference: \in{figure}[a] \section[test]{Test} \stoptext In this setup, chapter numbers do not use OSF, and the numbers of figures (as well as references to them) use a mixed form, which looks rather odd. I can add \setuphead[chapter,section][numberstyle=\os] which makes heading numbers use OSF, but then again, references like \in[sample] do not work. Also, the numbering of the section changes from 1.1 to 1>1 (where > is a right pointing triangle). To see the results, you can process this: ------------------------ cut here --------------------- \defineconversion[number][\os] \defineconversion[numbers][\os] \setuphead[chapter,section][numberstyle=\os] \starttext \chapter[sample]{Sample} This is chapter \in[sample]. Below is \in{section}[test]. Here is \in{figure}[a] on \at{page}[a] \placefigure[here][a]{Caption}{FIGURE} \section[test]{Test} \stoptext ------------------------ cut here --------------------- Is there any way, to change the numbering style globally?
