Any thoughts why the following doesn't work? \currentdate[d:persiannumerals] It just outputs the normal digits. In contrast, these work: \currentdate[d:abjadnumerals] \convertnumber{persiannumerals}{\normalday} On Sat, Dec 7, 2024, 7:11 AM Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context < ntg-context@ntg.nl> wrote:

\starttext \currentdate[d:R,space,space,y:R] \stoptext
Many thanks for your fast reply, Wolfgang.
I didn’t even know that there were such short invocations for number conversions in \currentdate.
The simplest method is to use \convertnumber in combination with \normalmonth etc. which holds the value for the current month etc.
\starttext \convertnumber{R}{\normalday }\textslash \convertnumber{R}{\normalmonth}\textslash \convertnumber{R}{\normalyear } \stoptext
First time I see these commands. Good to know them.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
