Somehow, the original post from Burak never made it to my mailbox,

Hi,
First of all, I'd wish to express my thanks to the makers of and
contributors to ConTeXt - it is quite a pleasure to use so far.
Now for my concern: I want to typeset Arabic.
What would I use?
luaTeX and mkiv. XeTeX is there but stick with luaTeX if possible.
I am aware of ArabTex, I haven't yet tried Omega... however, I followed
some
presentations for LuaTeX and typesetting Arabic was mentioned there as
motivation. This is how I got to ConTeXt in the first place.
Omega is dead or nearly dead and part of the code is integrated in
LuaTeX.
Trying the documentation, I ended up on the following page which says
"TODO"
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Arabic_and_Hebrew
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Aleph_Guide
was once the main guide. Aleph was a merge of etex and Omega, succeeded by
luatex. You can still use the old Omega way of doing things in luatex --
as explained in that guide, but it's better to use the new mechanism and
opentype fonts.
I also searched mail archives, but the mails I found on this subject
were
from 2003, so I thought it is worth probing for an update.
I should write one; will put this on the todo list...
Any news or hints appreciated.
The MkIV manual [1] has a section about arabic, you try the following
code
with LuaTeX or XeTeX (should work).
XeTeX is there but stick with luaTeX if possible.
\definefontfeature
[arab-default]
[mode=node,language=dflt,script=arab,
init=yes,medi=yes,fina=yes,isol=yes,
liga=yes,dlig=yes,rlig=yes,clig=yes,
mark=yes,mkmk=yes,kern=yes,curs=yes]
\definefont[ArabFont][arabtype*arab-default at 18pt]
\starttext
Normal text.
{\ArabFont Your arabic text.}
\stoptext
This example misses the direction parameters. Try the attached file. If
you are on XP then the Traditional Arabic font is already on your system.
You will notice that vowels do not work well with Traditional Arabic.
Uncomment the line
%\font \TradArabic= arabtype*testat 28pt
and see the difference (arabtype comes with vista but you can google and
download it). The problem is that Uniscribe has text-processing info that
is not in Traditional Arabic font, and that font was designed for Windows
systems only. Eventually we will be able to oveload OpenType features to
correct this kind of (mis)behavior.
Note also that you may only use utf-8, not Windows-1256 etc!
Best wishes
Idris

Wolfgang, thanks - but this does not seem to fix the problem. The

To be clear, I am looking for a way to specify that content is to be

You could use modes for a imposed and a normal document.
\startmode[fold]
\setuppapersize[A5][A4]
\setuparranging[2UP,rotated,doublesided]
\stopmode
\startnotmode[fold]
\setuppapersize[A5][A5]
\stopnotmode
and process it with
texexec --arrange --mode=fold mydocument
and
texexec mydocument

Well, this worked, thank you!
I can safely say I would not have found that on my own...
Could I trouble you for a version to take me to the page *before*,
i.e. the inside back cover? I now realise I may need to put content
there too, and if not I can just do another \page to get to the
outside back cover.

OK, but my real document *will* have these - this was just a minimal
example. Originally I wanted to put the arrangment commands outside
the document, but I then put them inside too in case it helped.

Could you try the following page brake method.
\unprotect
\installpagebreakhandler {newquadruple}%
{\ifdoublesided
\!!counta\realpageno
\!!countb\realpageno
\advance\!!counta 4
\divide\!!counta 4
\multiply\!!counta 4
\advance\!!countb 1
\advance\!!counta-\!!countb
\executepagebreakhandler\v!yes
\dorecurse\!!counta{\executepagebreakhandler\v!empty}%
\fi}
\protect

\page[8] is useless in this example because you're already beyound
the eight page and the argument is useless in this case.
\page[quadruple]

you need --arrange only for documents with a table of content, indices ...

Wolfgang, thanks - but this does not seem to fix the problem. The
"last page" appears opposite page 3 instead of opposite page 1.
To be clear, I am looking for a way to specify that content is to be
placed on the outside of the cover, i.e. printed on the same side of
the same sheet as page 1, when "arranged".
\setuppapersize[A5][A4]
\setuparranging[2UP,rotated,doublesided]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setuplayout[margin=0pt,width=fit]
\setupbodyfont[16pt]
\starttext
\dorecurse{11}{\input tufte \par \input knuth \par}
\page[8]
Back Cover
\stoptext
...
texexec --arrange --paperformat=a5a4 --printformat=up test2.tex
