Re: Re[4]: [NTG-context] Known nath bugs?
Hi,
Nath is a very complex module, easily broken. If you can
privately send me your preamble we might be able to find what
was breaking it. Or you can try it yourself: move it up line by
line until delimiters don't work anymore: you'll find what
makes it bomb :)
OK, I'll try that. At the moment I'm having all kinds of issues with
Let me point out, mainly for the record, that ConTeXt / nath does not seem
to work properly under MikTeX.
The following script works fine with Linux / teTeX, but with MikTeX, the
in-line versions of the math is wrong.

Maybe I produced some garbage inbetween. :-) Nath is a very complex module, easily broken. If you can privately send me your preamble we might be able to find what was breaking it. Or you can try it yourself: move it up line by line until delimiters don't work anymore: you'll find what makes it bomb :) Anyway, it looks like the fix is easy: the problem is that dimension commands are not protected (unexpandable). Thank you very much, I'll try that. If it doesn't work, I can still get along without units, though it would have been nice to have that too. BTW, is there some kind of manual on aligning nath equations? I tried to align multiline equations using \startalign, but that only worked (in display mode) as long as no delimiters were used; \[ \startalign a = (b \\ b = c) \stopalign \] always produced an error message saying that I had left out an }. I probably made some mistake, so a tutorial on aligning equations with nath would be great. The nathguide.pdf mentions eqnarray, but I guess that's not available in ConTeXt, or is it? Not yet.

OK, I'll try that. At the moment I'm having all kinds of issues with
nath (even without any preamble at all), like \binom{\frac 12}{a} not
working, \to, \ot and \otto arrows not adjusting to the lengths of
their subscripts, etc... and I can hardly imagine that all of these are
nath bugs, so maybe something's wrong with my TeX installation. I'm
using the latest i-Installer teTeX for MacOS X package (with non-beta
ConTeXt version), configuration files unchanged.
So if someone else is using nath with Gerben Wieda's teTeX
installation, it would be helpful to know if he/she is experiencing
similar problems.
Anyway, the nath module looks very promising; I'm really looking
forward to its next revision!
Best regards,
Sebastian
