Dear ConTeXt folks,
`\dotsb` is not defined although it is defined in AMSTeX (amsmath) [1].
Please find the following minimal example also attached.
\starttext
This throws an error, since »\backslash dotsb« is not defined.
\startformula
1 + 2 + 3 + \dotsb + n = \frac{n}{2} (n + 1)
\stopformula
\stoptext
This is the error.
[…]
system > begin file dotsb.tex at line 1
! Undefined control sequence.
system > tex > error on line 5 in file dotsb.tex: Undefined control sequence ...
1 \starttext
2 This throws an error, since »\backslash dotsb« is not defined.
3
4 \startformula
5 >> 1 + 2 + 3 + \dotsb + n = \frac{n}{2} (n + 1)
6 \stopformula
7 \stoptext
8
l.5 1 + 2 + 3 + \dotsb
+ n = \frac{n}{2} (n + 1)
?
[…]
Is `\dotsb` not defined intentionally?
Thanks,
Paul
