Hello,
compare placing "3" in the following examples:
----
\starttext
$\sqrt[3]{5}$ % (1)
\par
$\sqrt[3~]{5}$ % (2)
\stoptext
----
In the first case, the "3" is placed naturally by ConTeXt and placed
more in the centre of "V" part of the square sign.
In the second example, the "3" is shifted manually by adding "~" and
the final placement seems to me a bit better.
What is your opinion - is the case (1) OK/intended and user should
avoid any manual shifting?
Or manual shifting is OK? Or is there a way to affect this placement
globally in ConTeXt, e.g. setting an internal variable?
If we can come up with a proper name for a parameter we can make it a
setting. One of these things that Aditya and I will to discuss when we
have time and are in math mood. (There is much more in math we could
control if needed, but often in the end that control is not that much
needed at all.)
As an example, see this question about customized square root signed
which was asked on TeX.SE a few years ago:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/406680/323
I tried the code from the link above, but:
- I had change some macro names: \mpvar -> \MPvar, \startuniquempgraphic
-> \startuniqueMPgraphic and some others,
- there is still an error I'm not able to fix (see attachements).
I'll look into that..
Maybe your code is intented for Ctx LMTX, whilst I'm still working with
Ctx MkIV (which uses Lua 5.3; AFAIK, Lua 5.4 exists just in RC
versions).
No. This feature works with MkIV as well. I posted that code in 2017, much
before LTMX was released. The feature is much older than 2017, IIRC. Similar
interfaces exist for delimiters, accents, and other artifact.
