Hans, the beta is a solid step forward regarding bidi and Arabic support, and not just in footnotes. Thank you.
However, it appears that my earlier declarations of ‘problem solved’ were a bit
premature. Footnotes display everything correctly, but not linenumber notes.
Using the three bidi methods of \setupdirections[bidi]:
- ‘default’ orders the linenumber notes and their texts right-to-left, but any
number therein is reversed (4102 instead of 2014).
- ‘one’ does not render either the note block nor the individual notes' texts
right-to-left.
- ‘two’ is identical to method ‘one’.
Compare these to regular footnotes, where everything is rendered correctly as
of this new beta.
Below is a minimal example with resulting PDF output.
