Indentation after formulas

Indentation after formulas

[David Munger]

Hello,

Compiling the following results in indented text following the formula:

% interface=en tex=pdfetex output=pdftex
\usemodule [nath]
\setupindenting [medium]
\starttext
\section{Some section}
Let
\placeformula
\[
  f(x) = x^2,
\]
where $x$ means nothing.
\stoptext


I'd like "where $x$ means nothing." not to be indented as a new paragraph.

Am I doing something wrong?

David

I've found that inserting

\let\startformula\startmpformula
\let\stopformula\stopmpformula

before \usemodule[nath] does the trick. But I feel it's not a very good idea.  
Any advice?

It's not a good idea indeed.

Try \setupformulas[indentnext=yes], rather. Of course, you do
know that indenting the text following a formula when the text refers to
the formula is not a typographical/structural good idea, don't
you? ;)

Ahhh... It works fine with \setupformulas[indentnext=no]. Thanks.

Actually, I was not trying to indent text following formulas, but rather to  
remove such indentation, which seems to be the default behavior.

I noticed a \setupformulas[indentnext=auto] in t-amsl.tex. Is it intended to  
indent on a paragraph change following a formula and to make no indentation if  
there's no paragraph change, just like in LaTeX? If it is, I might have to  
upgrade again.

You got the meaning of indentnext=auto correctly. That's the
default, so it *should* work this way: if there is an empty
line after the \], then indent next text; if there is no empty
line, then don't indent next line.

OTOH, I'm thinking there is probably a bug somewhere in there,
because of the \ignorespaces I'm using in the definition of \];
I'll have to look into this.
