Hi

How do you use automatic and manual Kashide for Arabic in ConTeXt? I could not find any documentation on this.

i have no clue what is it but google relates it to poems so maybe

\usemodule[hemistich] is what you want

(search the mail archive for usage)

It can be done manually, of course, by just manual insertions of U+0640. Did you mean something else by 'manual'?

As for automatic, it is in the pipeline and my hope is it will be done by Spring if not earlier.
