Hello Idris, If you tell me what you want from the bib package, chances are that it will be added (if you don't, it won't be). Generally, without feature requests there will never be any new features, and without bug reports bugs will never get fixed. So: if anybody has requests for the bib package, let me know.

[NTG-context] math in ConTeXt
is ConTeXt prepared for math?
I mean...can I do...
$\sum_{i=1}^{n}{x_{i}}$
as I used to in LaTeX ?
I don't make the \Sigma to be under and over characterised by i=1 and n.

With regard to mathematics ConTeXt can do all things which plain TeX can.

$\sum_{i=1}^{n}{x_{i}}$

Yes. For displaymath you can use plain TeX's $$\sum$$ or better
\placeformula
\startformula
\stopfromula
(LaTeX's \[ ... \] doesn't work.)
I don't make the \Sigma to be under and over characterised by i=1 and n.
In inline math you need \limits\sum if you want to have the i=1 below
and the n above the sum sign. If I'm not mistaken, LaTeX does the same.

Re: [NTG-context] Re: updating context in cygwin by hand
the blue thing was a mistake of mine...it is solved now ! will see what is failing with the update of texexec.pl...if I find the reason I will report it I like ConTeXt !! thanks Jose [...] but I cannot place a blue thing in the background...I have some overlay with a blue strip I wan to put in the background and it won't come up, another overlay in the normal text area goes fine... You might think of posting the not-working file, so we could see what is going wrong. this morning some message saying something about the background was issued but I deleted it (-gasp-) You know about URL:news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context? when new distributions come into place...is there anything like an standard (automatic) battery of tests (making some documents...or so...) which is performed? Good question.

Hi Jose,
Indeed ConTeXt contains all the plain TeX commands and you can use
them (in this case \sum). So these formulas give what you want
$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i$ (for the summation)
$\prod_{i=1}^{i=n} (1+x_i)$ (for the product), and so on.
For the displayed version you can use either
$$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i$$
or
\startformula
\sum_{i=1}^n x_i
\stopformula
Best regards: OK
