Hi Hans,
While testing old documents with lmtx, I noticed that with recent versions
of mkiv, as well as LuaMetaTeX, there is a strange behavior in math mode:
when the characters < and - follow each other one gets \leftarrow… This is
embarrassing when one writes inequalities for negative numbers.
So one has to separate them in order to obtain with curly braces. Can this
be fixed or is it intended ?
\starttext
$\alpha < -1$
$\alpha \leftarrow 1$
$\alpha < {-1}$
$\alpha {<} - 1$
\stoptext
Best regards: OK
Hi!
I asked about this before, and it is a feature.
It can be switched off with
\setupmathematics[
collapsing=1,
]
Hope it helps!
Indeed. Aditya is in charge of decisions about these defaults so if you want
it differently you need to convince him. (I'm not sure how many users depend
on it.)
We can turn it off by default. But it might be better to have a more
versbose interface:
\setupmathematics[collapsing=yes|no]
with the default value being collapsing=no.
Aditya
