Re: [NTG-context] footnotes when using RtL (Arabic)

30 Jul 2015


      I’ve come across a snag. When using parentheses in Arabic footnotes, they are flipped. In any earlier email (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/91501/match=setupdirections+...), you had advised adding the following:
...
\startsetups[note:footnote]
  \setupdirections[bidi=global]
\stopsetups
\setupnote[footnote][setups=note:footnote] % align=righttoleft
However, if one does this with your patch, the second footnote gets dropped. Here is the MWE:
...
\unprotect
\def\strc_notes_flush_global
  {\begingroup
   \useinterlinespaceparameter\noteparameter
   \doifelse{\noteparameter\c!paragraph}\v!yes
     {%\vbox\starthboxestohbox
      \vbox\ifconditional\displaylefttoright \else dir TRT \fi\starthboxestohbox
        \iftrialtypesetting\unvcopy\else\unvbox\fi\currentnoteinsertionnumber
      \stophboxestohbox}
     {\iftrialtypesetting\unvcopied\else\unvboxed\fi\currentnoteinsertionnumber}%
   \endgroup}
\protect
\definefontfamily[mainface][serif][ALMFixed][features=arabic,range=arabic,]
\setupbodyfont [mainface]
\startsetups[note:footnote]
   \setupdirections[bidi=global]
\stopsetups
\setupnote[footnote][paragraph=yes,align=righttoleft,setups=note:footnote,]
\setupnotation[footnote][align=righttoleft,alternative=serried,]
\showframe
\starttext
First note.\footnote{هذه هي (التعليقة) الأولى.}
Second note.\footnote{هذه هي (التعليقة) الثانية.}
\stoptext
All the best,
Talal

I wonder whether there is a bug somewhere in notes, because you may have
r2l notations, but the notes paragraph is built l2r:
\setuppapersize[A6]
\starttext \showframe
\definenote[afootnote][rule={on,right}, paragraph=yes]
\definenotation[afootnote][align=r2l]
\startalignment[r2l]
Testing.\afootnote{This is footnote one.}
Testing testing.\afootnote{This is footnote two.}
Testing testing testing.\afootnote{This is footnote three.}
\stopalignment
\stoptext
Can you test the following patch.
\unprotect
\def\strc_notes_flush_global
  {\begingroup
   \useinterlinespaceparameter\noteparameter
   \doifelse{\noteparameter\c!paragraph}\v!yes
     {%\vbox\starthboxestohbox
      \vbox\ifconditional\displaylefttoright \else dir TRT \fi\starthboxestohbox
        \iftrialtypesetting\unvcopy\else\unvbox\fi\currentnoteinsertionnumber
      \stophboxestohbox}
     {\iftrialtypesetting\unvcopied\else\unvboxed\fi\currentnoteinsertionnumber}%
   \endgroup}
\protect
%\setupalign[righttoleft]
\setupnote[footnote][paragraph=yes,align=righttoleft]
\setupnotation[footnote][align=righttoleft]
\showframe
\starttext
First note.\footnote{This is the first footnote.}
Second note.\footnote{This is the second footnote.}
\stoptext
