Wolfgang,

Did you imply in the email below that a new key or something was added to \startitemize setups? I mean, using \setupmixedcolumns works fine but is it possible to do this in each \startitemize individually?

Thanks, Hossein

My aim is to obtain right to left items arranged in multi-column, if I use \startitemize [s,columns,three] [margin=1em] the result is three column where first column start from left side of page, but I want it to start from right side of page.

I can use \startcolumns[direction=left]\startitemize \item First \item Second \item Third \stopitemize \stopcolumns but I think it look better if there is a key direction=left for the \startitemize environment such as used in columns environment.

The underlying columns mechanism has a reverse option for the direction key. I sent a patch to the dev list which allows a direst setting of the direction value with the \startitemize command.

Dear Otared, Your example works perfectly fine for me using version: 2016.04.13 16:46. Perhaps, you're using an older version of CONTEXT. There was a patch in February enabling this. See the output of my run attached. —Hossein P.S. My name is Mohammad *Hossein*, not Mohammad Reza :) On Thu, Apr 28, 2016 at 12:41 AM, Otared Kavian wrote:

Hi Mohammad Reza,

I tried your example, but it seems to me that the way the columns are presented when writing Right-to-Left is still incorrect. In the following example one should have the column containing the lines « First » and « Second » to the right of the column containing « Third » and « Fourth ».

I don’t know if there is already a way to tell ConTeXt to do it in the right way, or Hans has to look into the righttoleft mechanism. The same issue appears in the table mechanism.

By the way, the option [direction=reverse] seems to have no effect at all in Right-to-Left environment.

%%% begin example-RtoL-reverse.tex \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[ALM Fixed][features=arabic,range=arabic]

I have resumed working on the RTL issues and have updated this page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/RTL on the context garden. All improvements and comments are welcome. In addition, I am putting together a set of useful macros and settings for Persian typesetting and releasing it on github https://github.com/bateni/dabeer. Perhaps, once I am happy with certain things, I can ask Hans to consider including some parts as patches in ConTeXt itself. On Thu, Apr 28, 2016 at 10:10 AM, Otared Kavian wrote:

Dear Mohammad-Hossein,

After updating my installation of ConTeXt indeed I see that the order of the columns is correct. (The version I have now is 2016.04.27 10:18 MKIV beta fmt: 2016.4.28 and the previous one was version2016.04.22 09:10).

Somehow I did not notice the February change you mention in your message, and in any case my installation was probably not really up to date.

Best regards: OK PS: I am sorry for having changed your first name, and I apologize for that…
