There are two issues with right-to-left fontnotes, 1) the footnote number gets somewhere in the middle of the footnote text instead of being in the right margin 2) the footnote rule is left aligned: \setupalign[r2l] \starttext Text\footnote{Note} \stoptext Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Egyptian Arab

Thanks Wolfgang! I understand that the patch fixes rule=right (that I tried earlier and didn't work), but I don't understand what \setupnotedefinition is doing (I'm trying to incorporate this in my bidi module so I need to have some understanding of what is happening) To Hans, besides applying this patch, shouldn't "rule=right" be the default in r2l mode?

There is a bug with the placement of margin content in RTL mode: \setupalign [r2l] \setuppapersize[A4][A2,landscape] \setuplayout [location=middle] \starttext \showframe \inmargin{Margin}text\par \inleft {Left}text\par \inright {Right}text\par \stoptext With my setup i place the number at the begin of the text and hide it’s width which results in the output you can see.

The margin stuff seems to work fine now, but the footnote number is not shown at all: \setupalign[r2l] \setupnote[footnote][rule=right] %\setupnotedefinition[footnote][location=inright] \starttext \showframe Text\footnote{Note} \stoptext Using location=inright shows the number on the right side though a bit outside the right margin.

\setupalign[r2l] \setupnote[footnote][rule=right] %\setupnotedefinition[footnote][location=inright]
\setupnotedefinition[footnote][location=rightmargin]
Makes no visible difference here, but I'm not even sure what is the correct result is so I can live with what I have. I just think it is a bug to not have a footnote number by default when \setupalign[r2l] is set. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Egyptian Arab

it does a lot (and at some point definitions etc will become r2l aware as part of a larger directional scheme)
To Hans, besides applying this patch, shouldn't "rule=right" be the default in r2l mode?
not in a local r2l mode but in an upcoming document direction mode Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
