new to `context' and my first question to the list: how can I achieve the
following (`latex') behaviour:
\newcommand{\km}{\ensuremath{K_m}}
We can now use \km\ in the body text as well as in this
\begin{equation}
\km = 1
\end{equation}
display equation.
As a side remark, you should normally avoid using lowercase commands like
\km (especially if they are small) as you may inadvertently overwrite an
inbuilt TeX command (e.g., if you redefine \span or \omit, amongst
others). Unlike LaTeX, ConTeXt does not halt at the redefinition of these
commands; it simply spews a warning. Personally, I find that a safer
alternative is to use uppercase or camelcase words to define your own
commands: either \KM or \Km. This way you avoid conflict with inbuilt
commands.
If you are using macros for abbreviations, you can also use the following:
\definesynonyms[mathnotation][mathnotations][\infull]
\mathnotation [KM] {\mathematics{K_m}} {Viscosity of membrane}
\starttext
\placelistofmathnotations
\section{Test}
We can use \KM\ to denote \infull{KM}.
\startformula
\KM = 10
\stopformula
\stoptext
This way, you get a list of notation for free.
