How to obtain the division symbol? Command \div does not work.
\setuppapersize[letter][letter]
\starttext
$ a \div b $
\stoptext
gives output
a div b
math-def.mkiv contains
\definemathcommand [div] [limop] {\mfunction{div}}
which overrides the definition of \div from char-def.lua. The same line is
also present in mkii, but gets overwritten by the correct definition due
to different order in which files are loaded.
Hans: \div should be mapped to divided sign, so I suggest that we remove
the corresponding \definemathcommand lines from math-def.mkiv and
math-tex.mkii (see the attached patch).
