that the
solution lies in using \startsetups…\stopsetups + \definestartstop.
However, despite many attempts, I haven't been able to concoct the
right set of macros within that to get it working.
I'd be grateful for any help that could be offered.
Many thanks, Talal
p.s. Hans: When using
in paragraph form?
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Talal
p.s. Below is my attempt thus far, with the problem of defining paragraph=yes,
and with the problem of the footnote rule/marker. Reference to what I should
change in this example would be most helpful
and
everyone else on the list, where would I have systematically found a discussion
of RtL feaures such as rule=right? Or are there any preexisting example files
of complicated Arabic that I could study and learn from?
Kind regards,
Talal
p.s. Thanks for the \definestartstop environment. As you
source.
Yes, I'm looking for more real-world, detailed examples, to study and mould my
own document off of. In any case, once I'm more self-confident, maybe I can do
my bit and add some of this info onto the wiki.
Thank you for all of your time and help.
Kind regards,
Talal
Hans, running your example through (what I think is) the latest beta, does not
produce any Arabic in the PDF, if that was intended. I've attached the PDF.

Seeing how systematised ConTeXt is, I'm assuming something much simpler could
probably be used to achieve the same effect?

Dear all,
By way of further definition and clarification of the issue: back
on currently effecting
these and other matters with a '?' after them (or being told that it is
currently impossible) would be most appreciated. Alternatively, it would be
nice just to know where things stand.
Kind regards,

[1] Further discussion of these (and further) tasks can
are in the Arabic paragraph to work. The
footnote marker in the text shows up; but that particular footnote does not
show at the bottom of the page, though a footnote from text outside of that
paragraph do show, with their correct numbering. See attachments for an example.

It does indeed. Many thanks, Hans, for your quick responses and help!

(concerning the grid ... at some point we can associate lineht/dp with a font
... it's rather trivial to influence
, because to the best of my
knowledge there is no robust system for that anywhere (my definition of
'robust' means it can handle RtL languages, like Arabic, as easily as ConTeXt
does).
Many thanks,
Talal

something like arfont using simplefonts.

Dear all,
This is important for anyone working with mixed language (font) texts. In my
example, the overall document is Latin-based (e.g. English), with a paragraph
of Arabic text; I want this Arabic paragraph as a whole to fit onto the grid
(though obviously the individual Arabic lines of
to proceed.
Many thanks in advance.
