I see your point, Hans. For what it's worth, that's the default for
mixed Persian/English documents unless one uses a system that cannot do
it. For instance, FarsiTeX and XePersian provide that as default behavior.
That said, I'm not asking for this to be the default. I only want to
know how it can be achieved. The code will be put in my style file or
module.
i'll add rule=paragraph (i.e. listen to the first following paragraph if
possible) ... you need to document it as for sure i forget about it
Is it possible to determine the direction of the first line of footnote
block while typesetting the footnote rule? I imagine it should not be
difficult in Lua. Note that this may be the leftover from a long
footnote that started on some previous page.

I just found out that
\definenote[afootnote][rule={on,right}]
instead of
\definenote[afootnote][rule=right]
works and places the footnote rule on the right-hand side.
Still wondering about how to get automatic right/left rules.
what do you mean with automatic ... the problem with mixed direction
documents is that these things are part of the document design:
dominant direction vs local direction and right now we don't have a
clear model for that (if only because till now demands were always
conflicting so what works as default for someone doesn't for someone
else)
(i can imagine some modules that set up things)

Hi,
This has been previously discussed on the list but I didn't
find a
resolution to the issue. It might as well be my fault since I
didn't go through the entire archive and I am needless to
say new to
CONTEXT.
In a bidi text (Persian/English in my case), I would like the
footnote rule to be placed on the right-hand side if and
only if the
first line of the footnote text is RTL. Is there a way this
information can be obtained within a user-defined rulecommand.
Ideally I'd like a rule=autodir attribute for notes in
addition to
the current left & right.
Speaking of which, the left & right rules do not seem to
work, or I
misunderstand their point. When used (either left or
right), the
footnote rule disappears.
\starttext
\definenote[afootnote][paragraph=no,rule=right]
\startalignment[r2l]
righttoleft text\afootnote{\input ward }
\input tufte
\stopalignment
\startalignment[l2r]
lefttoright text\afootnote{\input ward}
\input tufte
\stopalignment
\stoptext
I see these defined in strc-not.mkvi
<http://repo.or.cz/w/context.git/blob/HEAD:/tex/context/base/strc-not.mkvi>
and
still don't work with "% macros=mkvi" in the first line of
the input
file and when the file has extension mkvi. Is this some
issue of
mkiv vs mkvi? For what it's worth, I don't notice a
reference to
MKVI in the compilation output.
Back to the main question, I can define my own rule as follows:
\unprotect
\def\myfootrule{%
\ifvmode
\dontleavehmode \hskip.8\hsize\blackrule
[\c!color=\noteparameter\c!rulecolor,
\c!width=.2\hsize,
\c!height=\noteparameter\c!rulethickness,
\c!depth=\zeropoint]%
\endgraf
\kern\strutdepth
\fi}
\protect
Then I can use
\definenote[afootnote][paragraph=no,rule=command,rulecommand=\myfootrule]
to get a footnote rule on the right-hand side. If I can
figure out
whether the first line of the footnote text is RTL or LTR, an
if-statement can do the trick I want.
Somewhat related to this, I was wondering whether it's
possible to
define two note commands, say \footnote and \afootnote,
that use the
same counter but are otherwise completely different.
I use TeXLive 2015 on Mac OS X,
CONTEXT 2015.05.18 12 <tel:2015.05.18%2012>:26, and
LuaTeX, Version beta-0.80.0 (TeX Live 2015) (rev
5238).
Thanks a lot!
