Re: [NTG-context] right to left direction for itemize columns

[Mohammad Hossein Bateni]

I have resumed working on the RTL issues and have updated this page
 on the context garden.  All
improvements and comments are welcome.

In addition, I am putting together a set of useful macros and settings for
Persian typesetting and releasing it on github
.  Perhaps, once I am happy with certain
things, I can ask Hans to consider including some parts as patches in
ConTeXt itself.

Re: [NTG-context] right to left direction for itemize columns

[Otared Kavian]

Dear Mohammad-Hossein,

After updating my installation of ConTeXt indeed I see that the order of the 
columns is correct. (The version I have now is
2016.04.27 10:18 MKIV beta  fmt: 2016.4.28 
and the previous one was version2016.04.22 09:10).

Somehow I did not notice the February change you mention in your message, and 
in any case my installation was probably not really up to date.

Best regards: OK
PS: I am sorry for having changed your first name, and I apologize for that…

Re: [NTG-context] right to left direction for itemize columns

[Mohammad Hossein Bateni]

Dear Otared,

Your example works perfectly fine for me using version: 2016.04.13 16:46.
Perhaps, you're using an older version of CONTEXT.  There was a patch in
February enabling this.  See the output of my run attached.

Re: [NTG-context] right to left direction for itemize columns

[Otared Kavian]

Hi Mohammad Reza,

I tried your example, but it seems to me that the way the columns are presented 
when writing Right-to-Left is still incorrect. In the following example one 
should have the column containing the lines « First » and « Second » to the 
right of the column containing « Third » and « Fourth ».

I don’t know if there is already a way to tell ConTeXt to do it in the right 
way, or Hans has to look into the righttoleft mechanism.
The same issue appears in the table mechanism.

By the way, the option 
[direction=reverse]
seems to have no effect at all in Right-to-Left environment.

%%% begin example-RtoL-reverse.tex
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[ALM Fixed][features=arabic,range=arabic]

\setupdirections[bidi=global,method=two]
\setupalign[righttoleft]

\starttext
آزمایش نوشتن از راست به چپ

\startitemize[columns,two][direction=reverse]
\item First
\item Second
\item Third
\item Fourth
\stopitemize

آزمایش نوشتن از راست به چپ
\startitemize[columns,two][direction=reverse]

\startitem
یک
\stopitem

\startitem
دو
\stopitem

\startitem
سه
\stopitem


\startitem
چهار
\stopitem
\stopitemize
\stoptext
%%% end example-RtoL-reverse.tex

Best regards: OK

Re: [NTG-context] right to left direction for itemize columns

[Mohammad Hossein Bateni]

I actually figured out that one can use the following:

\startitemize[columns,two][direction=reverse]
\item first
\item second
\item third
\stopitemize

Re: [NTG-context] right to left direction for itemize columns

[Mohammad Hossein Bateni]

Wolfgang,

Did you imply in the email below that a new key or something was added to
\startitemize setups?  I mean, using \setupmixedcolumns works fine but is
it possible to do this in each \startitemize individually?

Thanks,
Hossein

Dear  Hans,

It is nice to have this feature in the next beta.
It will help us to make multiple-choice problems.

Thank you.

I am sorry, I should explain more carefully.

This type of itemization usually needed to list the short answers of the
multiple-choice questions.
Some problems are not well-composed, but you can see an example at the
end of the following page.

http://blog.daum.net/_blog/BlogTypeView.do?blogid=0dl2J=153


the next beta will support this (but only for simple items that fit in 
the available space)

\startitem first \stopitem \startitem second \stopitem
\startitem third \stopitem \startitem fourth \stopitem
\startitem fifth \stopitem
\stopitemize

\startitem first \stopitem \startitem second \stopitem

\startitem fifth \stopitem \startitem sixth \stopitem
\startitem seventh \stopitem

Dear Wolfgang,

  I’d like to ask one thing related with the itemize columns.

In my country, the items are listed from left to right first and then go down 
to the next line.
For example, to get the following output,

1. first2. second   3. third
4. fourth   5. fifth6. sixth

I use the code as below.

\starttext

\startitemize[n, columns,three, ]

\startitemize[continue]
\item fourth
\item fifth
\item sixth

Is there any simpler way to achieve this?

Re: [NTG-context] right to left direction for itemize columns

I have posted  a question in tex stack exchange


  Customize right to left list in context
  


My aim is to obtain right to left  items arranged  in  multi-column, 
if I use

\startitemize[s,columns,three][margin=1em]
the result is three column where first column start from left side of 
page, but I want it to start from right side of page.


I can use \startcolumns[direction=left]\startitemize \item First \item 
Second \item Third \stopitemize \stopcolumns
but I think it look better if there is a key direction=left for 
the\startitemize environment such as used in columns environment.
The underlying columns mechanism has a reverse option for the direction 
key. I sent a patch to the dev list which allows a direst setting of the 
direction value with the \startitemize command.


\starttext

\startitemize[columns,three]
\dorecurse{9}{\item Entry \recurselevel}
\stopitemize

\blank[3*line]

\setupmixedcolumns[itemgroupcolumns][direction=reverse]

\startitemize[columns,three]
\dorecurse{9}{\item Entry \recurselevel}
\stopitemize

\stoptext
