Re: [NTG-context] Arabic/Hindi numerals in layout structures (headers, page numbers, etc.)
Never mind. After more word combinations when searching the archives, I came
across Wolfgang’s answer here: gmane.comp.tex.context/85673
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/85673, in which he says to
use the \defineconversion command. E.g.:
\defineconversion
[myconversion]
[۱,۲,۳,۴,۵,۶,۷,۸,۹,۱۰,
۱۱,۱۲,۱۳,۱۴,۱۵,۱۶,۱۷,۱۸,۱۹,۲۰,
۲۱,۲۲,۲۳,۲۴,۲۵,۲۶,۲۷,۲۸,۲۹,۳۰]
\setuppagenumber[numberconversion=myconversion]
Of course, one can add the same to setups for the other matters as well:
\setuphead[chapter,title,section,subject][conversion=myconversion]
\setuplinenumbering[conversion=myconversion]
\setupnotations[footnote][numberconversion=myconversion]
\setupnotations[linenote][numberconversion=myconversion]
etc.
This actually provides lots of flexibility, as you can fine-tune various
footnote streams by assigning different scripts, etc.

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

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.
Mind you, if I manually type such numbers into the body of my text, they

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.

Re: [NTG-context] Arabic/Hindi numerals in layout structures (headers, page numbers, etc.)
Thank you for that, Idris. I had tried those earlier, but both of them gave me
not digits but the Arabic equivalents of roman numerals — letters, used in the
Arabic language, to denote enumeration (as you know). In fact, I have now
settled on using those for my front matter in the Arabic critical edition. In
fact, now that you mention them both, it seems to me that they produce the same
out put: ا ب ج د ه و ز … which I would expect from abjadnumerals but not from
arabicnumerals. Perhaps there is a bug?
But, in any case, the solution of Wolfgang solves my immediate problem. It
would, of course, be nice not to have had to type out many lines of numbers
(the Arabic edition has more than 250 sections, i.e. entries), and to have this
automated when declaring the main language to be Arabic, for example. But it is
a small price to pay for the flexible functionality.
All the best, and salam,
Talal
