Hi,
Does anyone have a suggestion to generate a better result
for the symmetry specification:
\starttext
${2\over a}{2\over b}{2\over m}$
\stoptext
I tried:
\starttext
${2\over \vphantom{b}a}{2\over \vphantom{b}b}{2\over \vphantom{b}m}$
\stoptext
but this leaves too much vertical space - compare it to:
\starttext
${2\over \vphantom{b}a}{2\over b}{2\over \vphantom{b}m}$
\stoptext
Can this be a bug in ConTeXt math spacing?
Alan

Use the \frac command.
\starttext
$\frac{2}{a}\frac{2}{b}\frac{2}{m}$
\stoptext

Thank you, Wolfgang.
I had stopped using the \frac command a while ago
as it was *seriously broken*, previously.
Why, however, does the TeX construction {a\over b}
not work correctly, and more precisely, why does the TeX
command \vphantom{b} not give the desired result?

Something is wrong in the current implmentation of \tfrac.
If we take away all the bells and whistles provided by
\definemathfraction,
* \tfrac#1#2 should be equal to {\textstyle #2 \over #1}
* \dfrac#1#2 should be equal to {\displaystyle #2 \over #1}
* \frac should be equal to \tfrac in inline math and \dfrac in display
math.
In the current implmentation \frac works correctly, but \tfrac does not.
For example:
\startbuffer
\frac 12 \tfrac 12 \dfrac 12
\stopbuffer
\starttext
$\getbuffer$
\startformula \getbuffer \stopformula
\stoptext
The output of \frac and \dfrac is correct in both inline and display mode.
The output of \tfrac is wrong in both modes. In both modes, \tfrac should
equal the current output of \frac in inline mode.
Although I don't completely understand the code, my guess is that there is
a bug in how mathstyle=text is implemented (really, mathstyle=text should
be equivalent to mathstyle=empty in inline math mode).
Thanks,
Aditya
