I am trying to typeset a book in arabic in ConTeXt. I have stumbled upon this issue
Page Numbers change after 9 to 01 for page 10 21 for page 12 31 for page 13 41 for page 14 and so on
The issue seems to be with
\setupheader[style=\righttoleft, state=normal]
I need the righttoleft setting for the arabic text to appear correctly in the header.
Here is the snapshot of the page number issue:
