CONTEXT macros for Persian
These are a collection of macros that I use to typeset RTL Persian texts using CONTEXT. dabeer
means a scribe in Persian.
Warning: Since many RTL/Persian issues are fixed and features are added in the beta, I recommend trying a recent beta and not rely on stable version in the standard TeX distributions. The code has been tested on CONTEXT beta version 2019.04.04 13:31 with LuaTeX version 1.10.0. See the instructions for getting a recent Standalone copy.
Installation: Copy the contents of texmf-local
directory to a directory of the same name within the context distribution and then run context --generate
to update the file list cache. The install.sh script is an example script doing this. An alternative method is to copy the contents texmf-local
directory inside user's texmf
directory.
Several small and medium-size documents for testing CONTEXT's RTL/Persian functionality. Some are usage examples while I also try to collect here some of the bugs that I want to report.
Contents of the package should be copied to the TeX tree.
Snippets copied from Farsi Wikipedia to avoid boring texts in the test files.
Some useful scripts and config files.
