I might have misunderstood the purpose of the book. I thought it was a
"ConTeXt book", where one explains and discusses ConTeXt. If it is
more of a "How to move from X to ConTeXt" book, then one could
probably add a few things:
I’m quite sure that most people who are interested in ConTeXt already
know LaTeX or plain TeX.
It is a ConTeXt book. I usually don’t explain differences or “moving”.
So why I think we need that for math? In opposite to most other areas,
formulae can look mostly the same in ConTeXt and LaTeX, before the math
manual there was no documentation, because you could refer to LaTeX
docs, so it’s more important now to explain the differences.
* Use \im inline math.
* Use \startformula \stopformula for all displayed math. Show a few
examples with \alignhere, \breakhere and \numberhere. (The usual ones
are done in the displayed math chapter.)
* Explain that manual spaces inserted by \, and \! and so on are not
meant to be needed. For example, one often sees \,dx for
differentials, in ConTeXt, use \dd x.
* (Almost) everything is possible to set up. The keywords are
explained in the math manual. (The example above with fractions is one
example)
Thank you, that’s what I wanted to hear!
