Re: mathmatrix and internal lines

[Otared Kavian <otared@gmail.com>]

Hi Jean-Philippe,

A few weeks ago I saw briefly the discussion about Hans' message regarding \noalign and the the new definitions of \HR and \VR that you are sending. Indeed your solution works great !
Just for the case other people may have the same question about writing block matrix, I copy below the whole example which can be found later in the mail archive.
(For mkiv, I don't know how to do the same thing…).

%%% begin block-matrix.tex
% in LMTX defining \HR and \VR to create block matrices:
\pushoverloadmode
\noaligned\tolerant\protected\def\HR[#1]{\noalign{\hrule #1}}
\popoverloadmode

\def\VR{\dosingleempty\doVR}
\def\doVR[#1]{\NC \hskip-0.5em \vrule #1 \hskip-0.5em \NC}

\definemathmatrix[mymatrix]
	[left={\left(\,},
	right={\, \right)}]

\starttext	

\startformula
	\startmymatrix
		\NC A \VR  B \NR
		\HR
		\NC C \VR  D \NR
	\stopmymatrix
\stopformula

\stoptext
%%% end block-matrix.tex

Best regards: Otared K.
