Hi Mikael, as in my first answer use: f''_xx or f''_{xx} if you need both xs' I have tried it at it looks very similar to your LaTeX example. Start another thread about the single prime as bug. Since this one is marked as OT and others more more knowledgeable might not be reading this. regard

Hi Mikael, Basically, I see your problem with ConTeXts handling of math as a matter of taste! That is you want LaTeX syntax. It is easy enough to get the results you want. The only place where I see a bug is that a single prime is set larger than multple primes. regards Keith Am 1

Hi Jaroslav, Math support in ConTeXt is quite good. For beginners there are pages in the Wiki. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math I have to admit some pages are dated, but still give valid examples. The Wiki is a good starting point and have links to external example pages. regards Kei

It maybe helpful for beginners if there were sample documents for mathematical typesetting (for the current version of context) that could be used as a start for their own projects. Maybe list members can contribute some for addition to the documentation wiki. >>> __
