A trick (?) is to change the separator such that the number parsing in the otp see separate numbers as well:
\setupcaptions[separator={{.}}]
\setupheads [separator={{.}}] \setupcaptions[separator={{.}}]
this still gives problems with refering to a graphic but for that we need more hackery
Agreed, but this is a great step forward and explains the behaviour. It it true that in Arabic the digits making up a number should read from ltr while separated numbers forming a section or float reference should read rtl overall. So we are nearly there, just the cross-references to be dealt with, thank you all very much for this. Duncan
Hmm, I did not get the parent(s) to this email; was it off-list?
