Re: [NTG-context] r2l alignment and linenumbering conflict?

3 Aug 2015

      Just to note: all numbers in the body text are having their digits placed individually right-to-left. Notice, in the attached PDF, how the ١٤ is displayed as ٤١, and how ١٨٧٢ is ٢٧٨١ … but also the footnote marker is ٣١ instead of ١٣ as it correctly is below in the footnote itself.

Is there any temporary work around for this, until we sort out the underlying causes?

I am having problems with the directionality of numbers and mirrored
characters (like parentheses). When using bidi, the numbers are inverted
(5102 instead of 2015); with the explicit commands, the mirrored
characters are inverted as well.
we have several approaches:
the oldest method is based on some heuristics and targets at tex input in the sense that we assume tagging and directional switches
the other two are unicode bidi based (successive versions and there might be more as that evolves)
in any case, everything bidi / rl has to fit into some system and that's something idris and i are working on (well, we did at some point but we need to pick up that thread) ... so maybe you can trigger idris into onthology mode and help him
