All,
Why is it that the rest of the page after Answers on page 4 of the
compiled pdf is blank?
%output=pdf

Hi David,
This is a bug that I do not have a real fix for, but
I have a workaround for you instead.

Hans,
I have to wait until Gerben's Context Updated catches up to your
update. But I will do it then.

I have a similar problem. Attached is the (not so) minimal example
that I could prepare. (This is part of my way on mathalignment). See
the page break on page 2, while all the page is empty. Adding
\kern\zeropoint prevents the page break. But I find such an page break
very confusing.
This is context version.

By the way, texmfstart newtexexec --version just gives
TeXExec | version 6.1.2 - 1997-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD
No version information of context is given!! What is the correct way
to get complete version information from newtexexec.
Thanks,
Aditya

This is not what you would expect. An easy way to avoid such unexpected

\section{Compatibility with \type{amsmath}}
\tex{startalign} provides a compatibility mode with \type{amsmath} syntax,
which makes it easier to reuse work written in \LATEX.
\startbuffer
\placeformula \startformula \startalign
f(x) &= x^3 + 2x^2 + 3 \\
f'(x) &= 3x^2 + 4x \\
\stopalign \stopformula
\stopbuffer
\ShowExample
However, Hans does not like the syntax, especially the {\em loose label} for
referring equations. This compatibility feature may disappear in the future. So,
I suggest not to use it. There are subtle differences from the \type{amsmath}
syntax, and it is much easier (and logical) to follow the \CONTEXT\ syntax.
\section{Missing Features}
As compared to \AmSTeX\ and \type{amsmath} package of \LATEX, the only display
math environment missing from \CONTEXT\ is \type{multline}. I do not
completely understand what is the expected behavior of \type{multline}
environment. If someone understands what it is supposed to do, and needs that
feature, make a feature request :)
Subformula numbering is a kludge. The subformula number needs to be specified
manually. Using mixed formula and subformula number needs some user
intervention. However, it is possible to make these transparent by defining
your own macros.

better use (for th emoment):
\defineframedtext
[example]
[width=\textwidth,
background=screen,
backgroundscreen=.85,
frame=off,
after={\blank[small]},
before={\blank[small]}]
\def\ShowExample
{\blank[small]
\startexample
\typebuffer
\stopexample
\getbuffer
\blank[small]}

btw, you need to patch core-mat.tex :
\doif => \doifsomething
\doifsomething{\formulaparameter\c!margin}% so we test first
{\dosetleftskipadaption{\formulaparameter\c!margin}%
\edef\leftdisplaymargin{\the\leftskipadaption}}% overloaded
it seems that this was never encountered

This doesn't seem to work. Changing line 303 of core-mat.tex \doif =>
\doifsomething and regenerating formats, does not change the output of
the test file. I still get the incorrect page breaking.
If I use the framedtext, then everything works fine. Something seems
to be going wrong with \startbackground \stopbackground.

no, this patch is not related to the pagebreak but needed anyway (you're
just lucky for not running into that bug) ; the pagebreak is just the
result of background going crazy (well, not being able to determine if
there is enough space left)

framedtext does not break across pages :( Can startbackground be
persuaded to become sane?

We already have a feature request to make startextbackground do
everything startbackground can do. After that, startbackground
can be flagged a deprecated command.

\definetextbackground works :). The following works correctly (breaks
across pages, and does not give false blank pages)
\definetextbackground
[example]
[width=\textwidth,
background=color,
backgroundcolor=lightgray,
frame=off,
leftoffset=1em,
rightoffset=1em,
location=paragraph,
after={\blank[small]},
before={\blank[small]}]
Thanks,
Aditya
