Hello,

No, I strongly disagree. Yes it should be upright by default, but it should
always be in TEXT mode, even by default, that is why I used the \text

agree. The default should be \mathupright (as is the case in amstex

I'll look into fractions later this week. All the fraction macros of
ConTeXt were based on \genfrac macro from AMSTeX so, in principle, they

\scriptstyle and \scriptscriptstyle; using \mathop, \mathopen, and

No. \DeclareMathOperator is just a fancy wrapper around

Why don’t you use \cdots, i can see no difference between your linked example

Dear ConTeXt folks,
`\dotsb` is not defined although it is defined in AMSTeX (amsmath) [1].
Please find the following minimal example also attached.

This throws an error, since »\backslash dotsb« is not defined.

Hi all,
one of the biggest drawbacks to writing my thesis in ConTeXt was that
much of the material had already been written in LaTeX, and I didn't
really want to have to go through by hand and change all the syntax.
Borne out this laziness was atoctx.el (which originally meant 'AMSTeX
, -- rightarrow
and remake the format
luatex has native support for extensible arrows and since lm lacks them we
need to construct them
How do we "extend" these arrows? Traditionally, amstex uses \x...arrow
commands for extensible arrows, and \...arrow things are fixed
omputer modern and math; also there is some math
setup, some register management, some structure commands and a bit of
tabular stuff
at that time i think that the general idea was that one would write a
style for each book (or series) and that a plain like package can be
used as basis
context is (like
r, but (some kind) of more or less
experienced TeX user, I'd add the following.
In general, there are three 'mainstream' TeX macropackages: plain TeX
(say, plus AMSTeX), LaTeX and ConTeXt.
It seems that the majority of the TeX world uses LaTeX; most people,
when they say "TeX", mea

Really!. That's really a disadvantage of Latex! I thought Knuth's
