Also \arabicnumerals is probably not what you want: this will produce an abjad-like sequence: ا ب ج د ه و ز ... I guess, what you want is called \arabicdecimals, and was not part of MkIV for a while. (For instance, it is not in standard TeXLive 2015 distribution whose CONTEXT version is for sometime in the summer.) Use the CONTEXT standalone and you should be good to go.

Here is my code for the header:

\setupheadertexts [{\righttoleft\getmarking[chapter]}] [{\romannumerals}] [{\pagenumber}] [{\righttoleft\getmarking[chapter]}]

Use

\setupheadertexts[pagenumber]

or

\setupheadertexts[\userpagenumber]

Hi, There is the command 

\persiandecimals

is that what you are looking for?

Best regards: OK

No, that is not it. I am looking for Arabic Decimals. I think, ill have to uninstall texlive and setup ConTeXt standalone.

You do not *need* to uninstall TeXLive. ConTeXt Standalone can work side by side and it's very simple to install http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone. You can pick to use the standalone for some of your compilations. \persiandecimals and \arabicdecimals are very similar. The difference is (almost) only in digits for 0,4,5,6. However, Ibn Saeed most probably needs \arabicdecimals to typeset "mashiriqi" numerals. The important thing is that neither one exists in TeXLive Context. It was there in MkII but not in MkIV for some reason. It was added to MkIV sometime in the fall. On Tue, Jan 19, 2016 at 8:43 AM, Ibn Saeed wrote:

Hello Wolfgang,

Thanks for helping out again.

i tried your code :

\setupheadertexts[pagenumber] [{\righttoleft\getmarking[chapter]}] [{\romannumerals}] [{\pagenumber}] [{\righttoleft\getmarking[chapter]}]

\setuppagenumbering[ alternative=doublesided, location=, ]

It did not work, no page numbers appeared(blank)

I am using TexLive 2015.

I updated ConTeXt as per your advice to the latest version.

I tried the following code on ConTeXt 0.63 running in AucTeX Spacemacs Editor. When you talk about context versions you have to use the date from the last line (context --version):

mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.63 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2016.01.18 22:21

\setupheadertexts [{\righttoleft\getmarking[chapter]}] [{\arabicdecimals\pagenumber}] [{\arabicdecimals\pagenumber}] [{\righttoleft\getmarking[chapter]}] You can separate the settings and the content:

\setupheader[style=\righttoleft] \setupheadertexts [chapter] [pagenumber] [pagenumber] [chapter] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided, style=\lefttoright, location=] \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=Characters] % numberconversion=arabicdecimals \starttext \dorecurse{10}{\expanded{\chapter{Chapter \recurselevel}}} \stoptext Wolfgang
