I could also mention here that in the upload Hans did some days ago, most changes are "behind the scenes", so the user should not really write their code differently. One exception: In integrals, texers have usually a \, in front of the differential. Now there is a differential class, and the macro \dd will give a differential d, with (hopefully) correct spacing. Thus, write for example \int_0^1 f(x)\dd x. If you find any strange distances between atoms, please mail me examples. With the introduction of new classes, there are many new pairs, and perhaps not all of them are setup "correct". /Mikael ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
