Hi,
Some questions/remarks about math fences
1. When using
\definemathfence[colorbracket][bar][middle=0x7C,color=red,
command=yes]
\starttext
\startformula
\colorbracket{\frac {a}{b}\fence a = b}^n
\stopformula
\stoptext
The delimiter is of the wrong color (black instead of red), and the
clause after \fence is red. I am doing something wrong or is it a bug.
Just not yet done .. coloring such math thingies is somewhat tricky ...
added.
2. For some types of expressions, for example, probability, the middle
delimiter should have the space similar to mathrel, rather than mathord.
For example, while typing I often use:
\Pr\left( X = \frac {a}{b} \,\middle|\, Y = \frac{c}{d} \right)
Would it be worthwhile to add these extra spaces by default (not sure
what is the convention in physics/quantum mechanics for bra and ket
notation) or as an option.
I'll add \mskip\thinmuskip around the middle ... no clue what key/value
to use so we can wait tile someone compliants
3. Finally, why are the default values of left, middle, and right =
0x2E. Isn't 0x7C a better default?
Well, the period is (for tex) special in the sense that it is a nop so
if you only want
(
and no
)
then explaining to a user that a period is to be used to nil the right
symbol is somewhat less troublesome.
One sets up the wanted symbols anyway.
