Nath bug?

Nath bug?

[Aditya Mahajan]

The following does not work? Everything is fine if I replace the nath 
module with amsl. Any suggestions on how to make this work.


\usemodule[nath]
\starttext
\startalign
  a &= \underbrace{b}_{c} \\
c &= d
\stopalign
\stoptext


Thanks,
Aditya

Sorry for the very late reply. Yes, the ConTeXt nath module
doesn't support this form of alignment. I would say 'yet',
but the hack of the original LaTeX module to adapt it to
ConTeXt has hit the limit of my expertise in both LaTeX and
ConTeXt.

I think the time has come to bring up the topic with Hans
and turn nath into a specification ('define these new
commands that behave this way') to be reimplemented from
scratch in a more ConTeXtish way, keeping in my that the
general idea behind the workings of the nath revolution can
be maintained since they are format-independent.

Hans, do you think you have time to dedicate to this
subject?
