results “type theory” to look like “t y pe theor y”.
I now found this workaround:
\definemathconstant[type][\text{\it type}]
\definemathconstant[theory][\text{\it thry}]
It might be sufficient for me right now.
redefining \type is a bad idea .. here is quits a run as i have overload
protection enables
I'm sure Mikael will give you the answer that suits proper (abstract)
mathematics but basicaly you want just text not a symbol
\starttext
\startformula
\mathtextit{theory} +
\mathtextit{type} =
\mtext{\it theory} +
\mtext{\it type}
\stopformula
\stoptext
math fonts are not text fonts and some even behave very bad as text ...
math italics are not text italics
