Re: [NTG-context] [Math in ConTeXt]
Thanks Otared for the offer to look into math issues.
Here are a few I noticed when TeXing an MK2 set of notes with MK4.
Matthias
\starttext
\startformula
\text{\bf R}^n = R^n ={\bf R}^n= \mathbb{R}^n
\stopformula
%spacing of exponent is in Mk4 wider than in Mk2
\startformula
\left| \int_{a_{i-1}}^b e^x\, dx \right|
\stopformula
% lower bound runs into \left|
% space between integral sign and integrand too wide
\startformula
r'=r''
\stopformula
This $\int_{a}^b e^x\, dx $ is not good.
% Inline math integrals need limits at the side. Spacing with lines below and
above is awkward otherwise.
\startformula
area(f) = \iint_{\Omega} |{f_u\times f_v}|\, du dv
\stopformula
% limit not centered over double integral
\placeformula[-]
\stoptext

[NTG-context] [Math in ConTeXt]
Hi all, After a series of exchanges on the list, on the topic of how mathematics typesetting is and should be in ConTeXt, I am writing you this message to ask all those who use ConTeXt to typeset mathematics and who encounter various types of difficulties, or shortcomings, to send me their remarks, either on list or off list. I will check the problems with Aditya Mahajan and Mikael Sundqvist, and then submit feature requests or bug reports to Hans and Aditya who will try to fix the issues (I have asked these people about this, and they all agree…). In order to help me manage efficiently the task, please add the following tag [Math on ConTeXt] to the Subject field of your message. The issues which may be addressed are of the following categories: 1. Differences in the output of ConTeXt mkiv vs mkii (due to differences in engine) 2. Differences in the output of ConTeXt mkiv vs LuaLaTeX + Opentype math fonts (due to differences in macro package) 3. Differences in the output of ConTeXt mkiv vs PDFLaTeX + AMSMath (due to differences in expectation) 4. Bug reports (regarding commands of plain TeX missing in ConTeXt, the position of math accents, etc…) Indeed some of the issues may have their origin in the fonts (therefore not easy to fix thouroughly), but others may be fixed once the expectations are clearly expressed. As usual, please give minimal examples imbedded in \starttext ……… \stoptext so that we can test the issue you are reporting. Thanks for your attention and cooperation, Best regards: OK ___ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [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.
Jose
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

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.

Tobias

Sorry, I was silent because I was away for two days ... now I'm
back.
Hans, we *need* a ConTeXt section on CTAN. Please. So that I
can put my stuff there, and you should upload your betas there
too.

I woul like to know where I may find a complete list of symbols like

to use in context while I am typing maths.
The main hurdle that I have today in change my personal typset work from
latex to context is a lack of a reference manual in this area.
Do you know where I may find one?

Giuseppe, Hans tells me you have developed the math mode into something special. Is their documentation or instructions anywhere on how to use it? I'd like to experiment. ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
