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.
we already have "none" and th enumbers represent:
1 specials
2 specials + mathlist
3 mathlist + specials
Now that Alan is entering his math in unicode symbols we can default to
'none'.
