Ok, this works:

\setupnote[footnote][align=l2r]

Does that have any drawbacks?

Hi Denis,

I don’t think it may have (other than forgetting other options, such as hz or hanging).

Ah, I alway forget that. By the way, is there a way to append to setting instead of overriding it?

...

Is it possible to change the text direction for single notes?

It doesn’t seem an option for \startfootnote.

Yep, unlike other \startstops \startfootnote does not inherit key-values settings from the corresponding \setupX (I mean, it does of course inherit the settings, but you can't set them directly on \startfootnote.) Why is that? Is it due to the fact that note setups take place in two places? (\setupnote vs \setupnotation)?

How about defining a new command?

Thanks for pointing me in that direction. That looks good.

\definedelimitedtext[rtlblockquote][before={\righttoleft}] \definenote[otnote][footnote] \setupnote[otnote][align=l2r] \starttext \input zapf \startblockquote \input zapf\footnote{this starts on the left.} \stopblockquote \startrtlblockquote \input zapf\footnote{this should start on the left.} \input zapf\otnote{this should start on the left.} \stoprtlblockquote \input zapf \stoptext

Just in case it might help,

Hi Denis,

sure, but I don't think it needs to be avocated (valid but not intuitive)

i'll add this (only a few line addition with no performance hit):

\definealign[MyAlign][r2l,flushleft]

so that you can do

\setupalign[MyAlign]

and you can also use it as value to the align parameter as well ... the usual 'context abstraction'

Nice! So, IIUC, you should also be able to do something like this then: \definealign[AlignStandard][verytolerant,stretch] \definealign[AlignR2L][AlignStandard][r2l] Is that correct? Re wikifying: I've tried to create the \definealign page, but unlike other command pages this page would look empty with no automatically generated content. So I guess the command is not yet in the command index, right? Denis

so again something to wikify ...

Wanted to wikify, but is this already implemented? sure
