This week I updated ConTeXt minimals. Before then, I used the following
code so that footnotes to Arabic passages would have parenthesis around
them and use the digits used in Arabic texts in the Middle East (e.g.
٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩).
\setupnote [arfootnote] [
headstyle={\switchtobodyfont[kitab]},
textcommand=\footnotenotenumbercommand,
alternative=text,
]
\define[1]\footnotenotenumbercommand{{\high{(\convertnumber{arabicdecimals}{#1})}}}
Since the update, for the 123rd footnote, I now get `(123arabic)`
instead of `(١٢٣)`.
Elsewhere, I do get the expected output (i.e. `١٢٣٢`) when calling
\convertnumber{arabicdecimals}{1232}
I'm still relatively new to ConTeXt, so I'm unsure if what used really
is correct, or if it was wrong and I now need to find the right way to
do it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Next time give a complete MWE with useable fonts
\setupnotation
[arfootnote]
[numberconversion=arabicdecimals]
as in:
\setupbodyfont[dejavu]
\definenote
[arfootnote]
\setupnotation
[arfootnote]
[numberconversion=arabicdecimals]
\setupnote
[arfootnote]
[headstyle={\switchtobodyfont[kitab]},
textcommand=\footnotenotenumbercommand,
alternative=text]
\protected\def\footnotenotenumbercommand#1{\high{(#1)}}
\starttext
x\arfootnote{x}
\stoptext
The #1 passed can be anything that renderes the note so the converters
sees rubish. You can see details with you add
\detokenize{#1}
in your macro.
