Any native arabic speaker out there? Is it %18 or 18% ??
It really depends on where you live. In Persian, 18% is common, among Arabs, %18. Both languages are left-to-right, but there is more than one convention for dealing with mathematical directionality.
Some of these issues are still being worked about in the Arabic-script world.
That's what I suspected ...
These subtlties need to be addressed for proper high-level handling of Arabic-script in ConTeXt/mkiv.
Yes!!
Best wishes Idris
