Many thanks. Question: Is this use of setups now the "official" or preferred way to handle footnote typography options? On the surface, it appears to be overkill. For the declaration

\setupdirections[bidi=global]

shouldn't that mean that bidi is applied, well, globally?

The same holds for \setupalign[verytolerant], for example, that does not get applied to a (figure,table) caption...

These environments (captions, footnotes, ...) inherit their settings and then live independently.

Many thanks. Is there (Hans? Wolfgang?) available somewhere

1. a complete list of these environments whose typographical settings are decoupled from the rest of the document?

2. a complete list of those typographical settings (bidi, whitespace, etc,) which are have to explicitly setup for such environments?

If not, such lists should be compiled in lieu of trial and error -) long ago i was working with someone on a wrapup of where/how to use/apply directional layout and bidi and such ... seems to be stalled forever
