Is there a way to use Arabic numerals (i.e. ١، ٢، ٣، ...) in
endnote/footnote numbers and their references?
I tried replacing the numbers in the <a> href attributes from __FN123__
to __FN١٢٣__ but that didn't produce the result I expected.
--> Please undo what you did. You must keep "system cross-references"
like "__FN123__" intact.
What you want is simply change the *number* *format* of endnote/footnote
numbers and their references.
This is done in XSLT stylesheets (not in XED scripts) like
W2X_install_dir/xslt/xhtml_strict.xslt, xhtml_loose.xslt, xhtml1_1.xslt,
xhtml5.xslt.
(XED scripts add semantics to styled XHTML 1.0; XSLT stylesheets convert
"semantic XHTML 1.0" to other formats, including XHTML 1.1.)
These XSLT stylesheets support a parameter called
footnote-number-format. It's default value is "[1]". See
http://www.xmlmind.com/w2x/_distrib/doc/manual/index.html#transform_step
The documentation says:
---
footnote-number-format: A valid XSLT number format (value of attribute
format of element xsl:number).

which should point you to: "XSL Transformations (XSLT)
Version 1.0", "7.7.1 Number to String Conversion Attributes",
https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#convert

Format tokens...are interpreted as follows:
- Any other format token indicates a numbering sequence that
starts with that token. If an implementation does not support a
numbering sequence that starts with that token, it must use a format
token of 1.
...
Here are some examples of conversion specifications:
- format="ア" specifies Katakana numbering

After reading the XSLT 1.0, I simply tried -p
transform.footnote-number-format "١" (Unicode Character 'ARABIC-INDIC
DIGIT ONE' (U+0661)) and it worked.
Simply make sure to really pass "١" to w2x. This can be easy or tricky
depending on how you invoke w2x. Using a bash script on my Linux box, I
had to specify:
-p transform.footnote-number-format $'\u0661'
