Dear all,
When typesetting in Arabic (or, for that matter, other non-Latin
scripts), how does one get numerals to appear ‘natively’ in layout
structures such as headers, page numbers, line-numbering, and footnote
numbers? In the case of Arabic, this means using the so-called
“mashriqi”, or “Arabic-Indic”/“Arabic-Hindi” numerals. Is there some
option when defining the font family? (I would have thought that using
“\mainlanguage[arabic]” would have done it.) Of course, I am using a
font that contains the numbers of that script.
I'm on the move, but try these keys in the appropriate structure commands:
numberconversion=arabicnumerals
numberconversion=abjadnumerals
Failing that, a workaround is to use the m-translate module, and define a
translation for each the ten digits. But numberconversion=arabicnumerals
is supposed to work.
Wassalaam

PS \start-stopsection is now standard (\section is still there, but...)
Mind you, if I manually type such numbers into the body of my text, they
appear correctly. MWE below.
Best wishes,
Talal
