Hi Mohammad Reza,

I tried your example, but it seems to me that the way the columns are presented when writing Right-to-Left is still incorrect. In the following example one should have the column containing the lines « First » and « Second » to the right of the column containing « Third » and « Fourth ».

I don’t know if there is already a way to tell ConTeXt to do it in the right way, or Hans has to look into the righttoleft mechanism.

The same issue appears in the table mechanism.

By the way, the option 

[direction=reverse]

seems to have no effect at all in Right-to-Left environment.

%%% begin example-RtoL-reverse.tex

\usemodule[simplefonts]

\setmainfont[ALM Fixed][features=arabic,range=arabic]

\setupdirections[bidi=global,method=two]

\setupalign[righttoleft]

\starttext

آزمایش نوشتن از راست به چپ

\startitemize[columns,two][direction=reverse]

\item First

\item Second

\item Third

\item Fourth

\stopitemize

\startitemize[columns,two][direction=reverse]

%%% end example-RtoL-reverse.tex

Best regards: OK

I actually figured out that one can use the following:

\startitemize[columns,two][direction=reverse]

\item first

\item second

\item third

\stopitemize

Wolfgang,

Did you imply in the email below that a new key or something was added to \startitemize setups?  I mean, using \setupmixedcolumns works fine but is it possible to do this in each \startitemize individually?

Thanks,

Hossein

I have posted  a question in tex stack exchange

Customize right to left list in context

My aim is to obtain right to left  items arranged  in  multi-column, if I use 

\startitemize [s,columns,three] [margin=1em]   

the result is three column where first column start from left side of page, but I want it to start from right side of page.

I can use \startcolumns[direction=left]\startitemize \item First \item Second \item Third \stopitemize \stopcolumns 

but I think it look better if there is a key direction=left for the \startitemize environment such as used in columns environment.

The underlying columns mechanism has a reverse option for the direction key. I sent a patch to the dev list which allows a direst setting of the direction value with the \startitemize command.

\starttext

\startitemize[columns,three]
\dorecurse{9}{\item Entry \recurselevel}
\stopitemize

\blank[3*line]

\setupmixedcolumns[itemgroupcolumns][direction=reverse]

\startitemize[columns,three]
\dorecurse{9}{\item Entry \recurselevel}
\stopitemize

\stoptext

Wolfgang
