How to obtain blackboard bold?

[Marcin Borkowski]

As in subject;)

I found out that {\mb R} gives me the symbol for the real line; is it
_the_ ConTeXt way or should I do it in another way?

The context way is \reals

Other symbols defined are (in math-ams.tex)

\definemathcommand [integers]       {\blackboard{Z}}
\definemathcommand [reals]          {\blackboard{R}}
\definemathcommand [rationals]      {\blackboard{Q}}
\definemathcommand [naturalnumbers] {\blackboard{N}}
\definemathcommand [complexes]      {\blackboard{C}}
\definemathcommand [primes]         {\blackboard{P}}

You can also use \blackboard{R} instead of {\mb R}.

Thank you!

I've added a relevant page ("Blackboard bold") on the wiki.

People can be divided into two groups: those who believe that people
can be divided into two groups and those who don't.
